Foresight linux is a good distro to use, but its still a fairly small distro, so you wont have as much help from user communities readily available. Its like a bleeding edge Redhat system, with RPM ripped out and the new conary package management system in its place. Conary is amazing. They include a lot of the newer gnome apps and tools that arent a part of the official release yet.
