Foresight Linux 2.0 is one of the first Linux distributions to ship with the brand new Gnome 2.22 desktop. Foresight is an rPath-based distribution that uses the Conary package management featuring an intuitive user interface and a showcase of the latest desktop software, giving users convenient and enjoyable access to their music, photos, videos, documents, and Internet resources.

The new tar-based installer installs Foresight Linux 2.0 in less than 10 minutes, including formatting a 200 GB hard drive; PackageKit to help users update their system and add and remove software; Syslinux, a new bootloader to replace GRUB; GNOME-Do to quickly search for many items present in a GNOME desktop environment (applications, Evolution contacts, Firefox bookmarks, files, artists and albums in Rhythmbox, Pidgin buddies, etc.) and perform commonly used actions on those items. Foresight Linux 2.0 is available for both X86 32 and 64-bit systems.
