Foresight Linux LXDE is the third special edition of the Foresight Linux operating system derived from the Specifix Linux distribution, which in turn is based on the Red Hat Linux OS. It is a desktop-oriented, rolling-release distro that uses the LXDE desktop environment and features a rollback functionality.

Foresight Linux is distributed in multiple flavors, with the GNOME, Xfce and LXDE desktop environments, as installable-only DVD ISO images of approximately 2GB in size each, engineered to run on 32-bit and 64-bit hardware platforms.

No surprises here either, as the LXDE edition of Foresight Linux features the same boot screen that is also available on other editions of the operating system, allowing the user to start the graphical or text-mode installers, as well as to rescue a broken OS.

This is an easy to install distribution of Linux, thanks to the graphical installer à la Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which requires you to select a language, choose a keyboard layout, partition the disk, select a bootloader, configure the network and set up users and passwords.

Default applications include the Cheese webcam viewer, Chromium web browser, GIMP image editor, MPlayer video player, LibreOffice office suite, Medit text editor, Pidgin multi-protocol instant messenger, Pragha music player, PCManFM file manager, Skype VoIP client, Mozilla Thunderbird email and news client, Transmission torrent downloader and Simple Burn CD/DVD burning software.

In conclusion, the LXDE edition of Foresight Linux is the most lightweight one, allowing users to transform their very old PCs into modern workstations that don’t require them to download a new ISO image each time a major update of the distribution is released. Do not hesitate to try the GNOME and Xfce editions of Foresight Linux from Softpedia.
