[Foresight-distro] Introducing Foresight Linux 1.0

[Ken VanDine]

Introducing Foresight Linux 1.0!

Foresight Linux is a desktop focused linux system that just works.  Our
mission is to provide a truely useful desktop system that is friendly for
the novice user, as well as flexible for the power user.  Foresight comes
with the GNOME desktop, Banshee for your music, F-Spot for your photos, and
Open Office for your office needs.  Ggreat attention has been payed to
making things simple and integrated.  For example, NetworkManager makes it
simple to connect to wireless access points.  Foresight System Manager
handles keeping your system updated, you can even auto update if you wish,
or get notifications when there are updates available and apply them
yourself through an easy to use web interface.

I am also pleased to announce some enhancements to our website, specifically
our new forum.  Many people have requested a forum in the past.  So lets all
help make it a success, you can find it at
http://www.foresightlinux.org/forum.  We are also evaluating wiki systems,
so stay tuned.

Foresight Linux is a community effort, and has come along way.  We have been
at it for nearly 2 years now, and have some great folks helping out.  It has
been a blast and we feel like it is mature and 1.0 quality.  We are always
looking for more contributers.  If you have strong beliefs about what makes
a good desktop distribution, we would love your help.  You can find us via
IRC #foresight on freenode, mailing lists and our forum all linked from the
community page of the website.

The future!  What does the future hold?  Well stay tuned, there are some
exciting things down the road as we work towards 2.0.  For example, x86_64
version, maybe a KDE version of Foresight, and more.
