Package management - which should be a big strength - is very weak in Foresight.
Slightly OT: I'm running it on a brand new KPC from NewEgg.
For whatever reason, it shipped with only 15 of 80 gigs formatted.
More seriously, I'm having a hard time installing any other distro on the machine. Ubuntu fails (even using the alternate install) with a message that the video is 'unsupported.'
Both SUSE 10.3 and Mandriva One '08 also fail, for reasons related to having to use an external dvd rom drive with the box.
I'm sure the problems are solvable, but for now, Foresight is it - and I'm not all that happy.

Thanks for the review - I thought it was just me.
