Foresight is a desktop operating system featuring an intuitive user interface and a showcase of the latest desktop software, giving users convenient and enjoyable access to their music, photos, videos, documents, and Internet resources.

As a Linux distribution, Foresight sets itself apart by eliminating the need for the user to be familiar with Linux, combining a user-focused desktop environment on top of Conary. As the most technically innovative software management system available today, Conary ensures that users can efficiently search, install, and manage all the software on the Foresight system, including bringing in the latest features and fixes without waiting for a major release. Thanks to Conary, Foresight developers can provide those features and fixes through rolling releases, allowing updates to be pushed out as soon as they are available. The latest version of Foresight is 2.0.5 which contains an up to date snapshot of the Foresight respository.

Foresight Linux 2.0 is pre-installed on all Shuttle^® KPC systems sold in the United States. The KPC is designed for web surfing, emailing, instant messaging, and light office applications. Shuttle is best known for its benchmark line of toaster-sized small-form-factor computers that fit just about anywhere. The KPC boasts the same small form factor and a unique changeable front image that works like a photo frame. (See us.shuttle.com for more information about Shuttle products.)
