Just to throw in my thoughts, what hooked me to foresight back then, was that it was that it was a rolling distribution, it provided latest gnome, and it (thx to conary) was pretty easy to create xfce packages for it. In my experience foresight was (and is) pretty stable, and I didn't have to do any new installs everytime a new release is out (although some other distributions got better too). Over time we somehow lost the rolling releases thing a bit. We still have a packagemanager that can make packaging pretty simple (although it could be a bit faster, doing resolving and such). What I want to get back is to start rolling again without sacrificing stability. And I think we need more of the system-config-foo of fedora get packed and working so new users that aren't too experienced with commandline stuff, can configure their system with a UI. With that and readding pkgkit and our anaconda following upstream anaconda a bit closer again (maybe leaving out the current fc18 version which isn't that polished) we would have a base that is usable for unexperienced users too. It's quiete usable anyway, if someone is there who does the admin work for those users. My wife and my son are using foresight xfce edition without problems. So long for my first unfiltered thoughts. Something more useful coming later ... ...maybe
