    Re: Introducing Fuduntu

    This seems rather nice, just tried out the livecd, very smooth distro indeed, nice one!

    Only thing that I'm gutted about is wireless doesn't work out of the box (realtek 8191) just like fedora 15, not sure how much of a faff it is to get working so I'll leave it for when I have more time

    But as for the nvidia drivers, the ones (akmod-nvidia) listed in the repo's do not take--the system just froze while Iwas installing; and then had to hard reboot. Would not go beyond the boot throbber. Any suggestions?
    BTW, the LiveDVD runs well, and congrats for making this version. It is so snappy.

    WOW, that's weird. We don't have a lot of testers to help test the NVidia and ATI chipset drivers. About the best we can do is test it on one of my desktops where it seems to work fine. It shouldn't hang during installation though, sometimes it takes a few minutes to compile the kernel module.

    I'll check and see if there are newer versions.

    Yup, it is downloading now. Will give you some feedback.

    Also, I noticed there is no OpenOffice/LibreOffice; anyway to install this through Terminal?

    Re: Introducing Fuduntu

    yum install akmod-wl and -nvidia worked perfectly. On reboot, the boot splash was different, but eventually loaded the desktop. On login, the screen dpi was set to 107 instead of 96. so fonts were larger than usual.

    Wireless is working fine now.

    Thanks
    Will give Fuduntu 14.10 a whirl now and see if it sticks with me. I like so far!

    Re: Introducing Fuduntu

    Firefox 5 just released--any way of installing this in Fuduntu 14.10? I have 3.6.17 from repo right now.
    So far all is good in Fuduntu--love it.

    Re: Introducing Fuduntu

    I'm impressed with 14.10. It installs flawlessly (unlike Fedora, which Fuduntu replaced on my Desktop).

    It looks a lot like Ubuntu.

    I had a problem with software update after the initial boot. I used the terminal to update packages. After that software update worked fine.

    It's refreshing to see a distro that just works out of the box. No crashes or freezes. Are you listening, Fedora?

    For Gnome Legacy, consider Fuduntu 14.10.

    I still think Ubuntu puts out a superior product, in all its variations.
    Edit:
    I think Lubuntu is faster. Fuduntu is about as fast as Lucid Lynx. Still working great!

    I like the look of it, but I'm wondering if you can use realtek RTL8191SE wireless as you can in Ubuntu ?
