'''Foresight Linux''' is a [[Linux distribution]] comprising [[free software|free]] and [[non-free software]].

Foresight Linux features the [[GNOME]] desktop environment, and has tracked GNOME development closely. The distribution imported every GNOME release since 2.10 on the day each was released.

Foresight Linux 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.

The latest version is 1.4.2, including GNOME 2.20.1 as the default [[desktop environment]]. It is available as two-CD or one-DVD install media (foresight-1.4.2-x86) and a LiveCD (foresight-2.20.1-x86). (The LiveCD apparently takes the version number of the GNOME release.)

Foresight Linux 2 includes GNOME, [[KDE]] and [[XFCE]] editions; and an [[x86-64]] version.[http://wiki.foresightlinux.org/display/marketing/History+of+Foresight+Linux] Foresight Linux 2 had a public Alpha release (1.9.9.alpha1) on [[November 9]], [[2007]].[http://www.rpath.org/rbuilder/project/foresight/releases]
