Fuduntu is considered a "remix" of Fedora; it does not qualify as a "spin" because it contains packages not included in Fedora.
As Fuduntu was originally targeted at the Asus Eee PC and other netbooks, it contains some tweaks to reduce power consumption. Among them, the /tmp and /var/log directories have been moved to RAM disk, and swappiness has been reduced to 10, to reduce the frequency of disk spin-up. In addition, Fuduntu includes the Jupiter power management applet (also developed by Andrew Wyatt), for convenient adjustment of CPU performance settings, screen output and resolution, etc.
The default packages include Nautilus Elementary, Adobe Flash, the Fluendo MP3 Codec, VLC, Infinality Freetype, Google Docs, Gmail, and the nano editor.
Also featured is Likewise Open, which facilitates connecting a Fuduntu machine to a network that uses Active Directory authentication.
The Fuduntu Difference:
- The latest stable Linux Kernel (2.6.39)
- Aesthetically pleasing design
- Unbelievable Performance
- Unparalleled battery life
