After a very, very, very long time I can finally announce another Foresight Linux release! We have gone through a lot of changes and it took us a while to rebuild our developer/maintainer/user base, but here we are! The goal is to go back to having a rolling release schedule and keep bringing the latest and greatest mix of GNOME and applications!

The Foresight Linux team is looking for a good graphic designer to help them with a splash screen! **Foresight Linux,**a desktop operating system featuring an intuitive user interface and a showcase of the latest desktop software" is now gearing for a major release with all the latest and greatest applications out there! Would you like to see your art work distributed and displayed whenever someone boots Foresight Linux? If so, please drop me a line for more information!

If you remember one of my last posts, I wanted to eventually migrate my Django Developer Kit Appliance to use Foresight Linux as the underlying operating system… and I am proud to announce that I have made huge strides toward this goal! Thanks to the guidance of some fellow rPathians, I managed to get an almost ready for production Django 1.2.3 + PostgreSQL 8.4 + Python 2.6.2 and lots of Django modules and latest versions for Git, Mercurial, Bzr, and Subversion ready to be used!

No, this is not a repeat from yesterday’s post. Turns out there was another security release for Django yesterday (thanks Zygmunt for the heads up), so here’s the release of Django Developer Kit Appliance 1.2.3.
