Choosing a Desktop Linux Distro, Part 2: Installation and Support

,----[ Quote ]
| "Linux is flexible, and applications and even 
| actual distributions are more easily UNinstalled," 
| 451 Group's Lyman pointed out. "So, if a user 
| doesn't much care for one version, there are 
| plenty of others to try."

| Most, if not all, top distributions of Linux ship a
| live CD that allows an end user to preview the
| operating system without installing it.

| Foresight Linux is the exception.

Clarification on Foresight and Fedora

,----[ Quote ]
| Foresight is toying with the idea of having a sub-project (completely
| separate from Foresight Linux base) that it has tentatively called âboots,
| a Fedora remixâ (a play on Dora in Fedora for those of you with kids).

A possible change of direction for Foresight Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| I think that Foresight needs to be based on an upstream distro that is
| regularly fully updated and refreshed, and that is maintained by distro
| specialists with experience and expertise that is just plain missing within
| the Foresight development community.  That distro needs to be imported into a
| Conary repository; that will allow Foresight to continue to use Conary to
| manage the process of building a set of consistent modifications relative to
| that upstream distro, providing a true rolling release.  That would allow
| Foresight developers to concentrate on only the problems inherent in
| integrating the very latest development source against a recent base that is
| relatively close to the basis on which the software is maintained.
