Fuduntu Linux reaches end-of-life!

Here is some bad news for Fuduntu lovers. Developers have announced that they are closing

Back in 2010, Fuduntu was built as a Fedora-based Linux distribution; however, it was forked soon afterwards. The project team explained that they have been trying to offer a desktop experience “somewhere between Fedora and Ubuntu.” September 30, 2013, will be the last date for official support for the distro.

The news was announced via an official blog post by Lee Ward, project communications leader. He wrote, “No new features will be implemented. The only exceptions are those features which are already being worked on. We will continue to provide bug and security fixes until the last day of support, however. In addition to this, the move of the Linux world to system has caused a problem for Fuduntu as it has become a required thing for many programs, but we do not use it. Together with the GTK issue, Fuduntu has reached an impasse. To move forward would take quite a bit of time and manpower, neither of which can be supported.

“The team discussed several options and, ultimately, voted to endof-life Fuduntu Linux. This decision was not made lightly but, ultimately, it was the best option. In its current state, Fuduntu would be broken if we tried to move forward.”
