'''Foresight Desktop Linux''' is a [[Linux distribution|GNU/Linux distribution]] of [[free software|free]] and [[non-free software]]. It aims to include the latest software and to be as user friendly as possible.<br />
<br />
Foresight is a [[GNOME]]-based distribution, and has previously tracked GNOME development closely. The distribution imported GNOME 2.16, 2.14, 2.12, and 2.10 on the day each was released. The latest version is 1.0.1, including [[GNOME]] 2.16 as the standard [[desktop environment]]. According to the website ken's blog<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ken.vandine.org/?p=207 | title=Introducing Foresight Linux 1.0 | accessdate=2007-01-31|author=Ken VanDine}}</ref>, there are plans for a KDE version for the next release onwards.<br />
<br />
Foresight features the [[Conary (package manager)|Conary]] software packaging system. This system only updates those specific files in packages which need to be updated, in contrast to other formats, such as the [[RPM Package Manager|RPM]] and [[Deb (file format)|DEB]] formats, which download whole packages.<br />
