Foresight Desktop Linux, now cooler looking!

GNOME

Foresight Desktop Linux is a distribution which showcases some of the latest and greatest from GNOME. With a great focus on usability, yet still up to date. Some of the more innovative things are included, like mono, beagle, f-spot, howl, hal, and oversite systems management. All of this plus some nice, clean default themes and artwork. FDL 0.8 includes many updates to existing packages, great hardware detection using hal/udev/gnome-volume-manager, and a new bootsplash. Check out some screenshots.

Our team has spent a great deal of time packaging some very cool games, not all of which are included in the distro but easily installed from the conary repository. Check it out, you will like it!

Looks really good! I skimmed

Looks really good! I skimmed through the forums, the wiki, and the documentation and I didn't find answers to a couple questions I have about Foresight... 1) Is this a full Linux distro, or just a Gnome distro?; and 2) If the former, is it 'based' on another distro (i.e. Redhat, Gentoo, etc) or is it a distro from scratch?

Maybe I missed it, or it just hasn't been done yet, but i didn't see any kind of FAQ. Well, regardless, it's nice to see what looks to be another promising distro delivering a quality desktop!
