The devel packages aren’t included by default, but you’ll definitely want them, especially if you ever need to compile any of software on your own. Foresight has this info in their docs too, but basically, it’s just conary update group-devel as root.

There is no mini-commander applet, after all. Maybe it’s an RH thing, or relatively little used Gnome code that Foresight didn’t include. Still, that’s a small matter, considering the time savings of a fully functioning Evolution.

Also, audio, including mp3 playback in Banshee works out of the box. Whoop!

Even DVD playback works with the exception of encrypted content. But that can be fixed by installing the libdvdcss libraries.
