Interview with Ken VanDine of Foresight Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| The deal with Shuttle appears to be a huge win for Foresight Linux. How did
| it come about? Who were the major players?
|
| Back in September 2007 I was talking to someone from on-disk.com about
| selling the future versions of Foresight 2. Then in January, she was
| contacted by Shuttle looking for suggestions for a disro to go with. She got
| us talking, and things progressed quickly. The first time I talked to them, I
| tried to get a feel for what they wanted, hard to do with a brief phone call.
| I then spent an hour customizing Foresight, changing the syslinux menu,
| splashy theme, gdm login theme, default wallpaper and changed the gtk theme.
| And… drum roll, I had installable isos available for them to test. The tools
| we use to maintain the distro, are designed from the ground up to make
| managing derivative distros easy.

Upstream is the key. GNU/Linux has more developers than any other project.

| Foresight KDE inherits all the goodness from the Foresight Linux project.
| This means the install is tar based and completes in less than 7 minutes. It
| also means Syslinux, Compiz Fusion, and more from the Release Notes.
