"It seems as if a new Linux-based operating system is born every day, with each facing the challenge of justifying its existence in a field that's already rather crowded with mature Linux distributions boasting active user bases and organized bodies to back them. But one relatively young Linux distribution worth keeping an eye on is Foresight Linux, a desktop-oriented distribution that hit its 1.0 release milestone at the end of January. What sets Foresight apart from the rest of the fledgling distro pack is the software management framework on which its built."

I wish Ubuntu people took time to make their fonts pretty out of the box 
All you have to do to get fonts like these is to open the Font settings dialog and remove hinting (while keeping anti-aliasing on).
I do agree with you, though, this should be the default setting. I also much prefer fonts like this...IMO that makes them on par with OSX fonts.

+1 for the looks. Everything including fonts in this screenshot looks better than on default ubuntu desktop.
