Foresight Linux

Template:Infobox OS Foresight Linux is a Linux distribution comprising free and non-free software.

Foresight is a GNOME-based distribution (although other "editions" are planned for future versions, such as a KDE version), and has previously tracked GNOME development closely. The distribution imported every GNOME release since 2.10 on the day each was released. The latest version is 1.4.1, including GNOME 2.20.1 as the default desktop environment.

Foresight features the 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 and DEB formats, which download whole packages.
