Fuduntu 14.10 - Now Available

The Fuduntu team is pleased to announce the general availability of Fuduntu 14.10.  This release continues our tradition of small incremental improvements bringing new versions of several important packages, and bug fixes to the Fuduntu Linux distribution.

Included in this release:

  • Linux kernel 2.6.39.1
  • Adobe Flash 10.3
  • Chromium 12
  • Shotwell 0.10.1
  • EXT4 is now our default filesystem during installation
  • Support for nVidia (akmod-nvidia), and ATI** (akmod-catalyst) proprietary drivers
  • A tool to help simplify customizing your installation
  • A Theme refresh, correcting several bugs and streamlining the look and feel.
  • New background choices
  • New tweaks to improve Flash playback
  • Bug fixes
  • As always, the quarterly patch rollup
Default Applications (for new installations only):
  • Chromium 12
  • Google Mail
  • Empathy
  • Google Docs
  • Banshee
  • VLC
With this release, the Fuduntu team has trimmed the installation media to under 1GB.  Fuduntu once again fits on a 1GB USB stick.

** ATI graphics support is available in the Fuduntu repository, however due to a lack of testers with sufficient ATI hardware it is not well tested.  YMMV.  If you have issues with ATI support, please consider joining Fuduntu Forum to help test for future releases.
