Fuduntu Project Ends
- krakensden 13y agoShame the new project name is FuSE- built in confusion with File System in User-Space and a million other things. I can't find the new project in Google at all :/.
- chimeracoder 13y agoSeriously, that seems like one of the worst naming decisions I've ever seen. It's not just that 'Fuse' is a common word - FUSE is an incredibly important project in the Linux world. This snafu is right up there with Unity[0], Unity[1] and Unity[2]. I really want to know what they were thinking - were they somehow unaware of the FUSE module?

- vacri 13y agoWikipedia disambiguation and Distrowatch both come up empty. I can't see much of a community forming around it.
- X-Istence 13y agoWhat is Fuduntu?
- akurtzhs 13y agoFunduntu was an attempt to make a netbook-focused distribution out of Fedora Linux. They also wanted to put a higher priority on user stability than Fedora, which has always gone for the cutting edge.
- GigabyteCoin 13y agoConsidering it's not even visible on distrowatch's ranking of 300 distros, I would say it ended a while ago.
- tildeslashblog 13y agoDistrowatch pulled it when it announced it was going EOL, prior to that it had been in ranked anywhere between 14 and 30 over 2 years.

- rttlesnke 13y agoI was using this distro for the past few months. I must say that I liked it very much because its optimized for laptops and I get the most battery life out of it. Now that its gone, can anyone here please suggest a distro that does the same? Other than Lubuntu, which seems to be an obvious choice?
- Shorel 13y agoHaving FUD in the name didn't help either.
- tildeslashblog 13y agoHaving a community of morons who clutch onto stupid make believe things like a few letters in a word that make up something when intentionally taken out of context didn't help either.
