| Foresight Linux worth watching |
Feb. 06, 2007
Foresight Linux, which last week attained v1.0 after nearly two years of development, is scrutinized in a new review at eWEEK.com. Foresight, featuring the latest GNOME technologies and several innovative software packages -- such as Beagle, Zeroconf, and Mono -- is worth keeping an eye on, reviewer Jason Brooks says.
"It seems as if a new Linux-based operating system is born every day, with each facing the challenge of justifying its existence in a field that's already rather crowded with mature Linux distributions boasting active user bases and organized bodies to back them," writes reviewer Jason Brooks.
However, "one relatively young Linux distribution worth keeping an eye on is Foresight Linux, a desktop-oriented distribution that hit its 1.0 release milestone at the end of January," he adds.
"What sets Foresight apart from the rest of the fledgling distro pack is the software management framework on which its built," according to Brooks. "Foresight is one of the most active projects based on rPath's Conary software management system, which offers administrators a great balance of flexibility and control in deploying and maintaining applications on Linux."
