o 'traditionally' there were no 'binary based' rolling distributions, for a reason.
The idea is to show how that is - with the right tools - not only possible, but in fact can change completely what to expect from a linux distribution.
The point is not to do a conary/rMake/foresight infomercial, but to present a new paradigm in distro making (Foresight Linux 2 (expected H1/2008)), the challenges we face(d), etc.
o Foresight Linux is a next generation linux distribution built around conary and rMake. o Currently released version (1.x train) has a very strong Gnome focus, and next version will have KDE and XFCE editions too. o Used as the base of the Official Gnome Development Kit.
