Review: Foresight Linux - When nature calls!
,----[ Quote ]
| In conclusion, testing Foresight has been quite a pleasure and I've learned
| some new things. If you hate to do things in a console, you should let
| Foresight update itself and not do it yourself, from the terminal. It
| contains useful software, such as the entire OpenOffice.org suite, two web
| browsers (Mozilla Firefox and Epiphany), Brasero for burning CD/DVDs, a
| powerful and sophisticated audio player/manager (Banshee). It also comes with
| a very beautiful theme, called Nimbus, and a nice collection of wallpapers.
| You should definitely give Foresight a try and, who knows, you may like it!

Foresight Linux: A Distribution That Stands Out From The Crowd
,----[ Quote ]
| Foresight Linux has entrusted its package management to Conary. A few of the
| cool features about Conary are:
|
| # Dependencies are defined at the file level, which brings in only the
| components needed from other packages instead of entire packages.
| # During an update, Conary only installs the diff of the update, not the full
| binary again which makes downloads and updates faster
| # If anything went wrong with an installation or update, you can rollback
| your system to a previous state. If the command conary rollback 10 is
| issued, Conary will undo the last 10 things it has done for you.
| # When fresh installing an application, Conary downloads a binary package and
| install it, process which takes a whole lot less than compiling and
| installing from source code. When a new version of the application is
| available, it just applies the diff.

Foresight Linux 2.0 Alpha 1
,----[ Quote ]
| With its lime green theme, the appearance of Foresight 2.0 Alpha 1 is
| certainly distinct from most other desktop Linux distributions. However, it's
| color theme is not all that's unique about this new development release.

Foresight Linux 1.4 Review

| Foresight is really great for seeing the latest gnome; one can show off the

Review: Foresight Linux 1.0
,----[ Quote ]
| Installation of Foresight Linux was a snap. Under VMware Fusion
| Beta on my MacBook Pro and on my Athlon 64 x2 system with GeForce
| 7800GT the installation was flawless. The graphical installer
| popped up cleanly on both and easily walked me through the
| installation process with minimal questions.
