Fuduntu is very nice
Just tried it,
very fast, chinese characters and input method were installed by default. I just love it, installed it on external USB 2.0 Drive, run fast. |
Hi:
Glad you like it! What Desktop environment did Fubuntu come with KDE? Gnome 3? XFCE? |
It is classic Gnome.
It installs rpm files with a simply right-click. ---------- Post added 01-20-13 at 06:14 PM ---------- MP3 players, DVD movie all can play by defaults. Adobe flash player also pre-installed. |
Nice that you like it. Just a minor correction, it is Fuduntu, not Fubuntu, it has no connection at all to Ubuntu. It was some time back based on Fedora, but now is an independent distribution.
|
Fuduntu...got it-
Didn't know that this distro was Red Hat based. So; is it safe to say that folks that like Fedora will most likely like Fuduntu? |
I myself have not tried (I just don't like RPM distros), but the last time it was based on Fedora was with Fedora 14, after that they forked it and became an independent distro. AFAIK, Fufunto is a rolling release distro, so not quite the same as Fedora.

I learned from Frankbell; one of our Senior Members, that Slackware is a good teacher. If Slackware, Fedora and Fuduntu were the only available distro's you would run Slackware; wouldn't you TobiSGD? You mentioned that: Quote:
Does Slackware have it's own tools/utilities and you find them much more efficient than RPM distro's? (trying to understand) |
My Fuduntu is on my USB 2 Hdd,
I can use it to boot from my Notebook (intel core i5, intel HD3000 VGA), and also desktop (AMD Athlon 64, ATI Radeon 3000), different hardwares, but both give full resolutions. No hardware conflict! The only thing is it has no printer driver for my Fuji Xerox Workcenter 3119. |
Give here a try; maybe-

I got the linux driver for 3119, but do not know how to install it?
I type ./install.sh does not work |
Glad to hear you have the driver that you need.
Before you install the driver make sure your distro is updated. Run: Code:
beesu yum update Code:
beesu yum -y install <name of driver> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10960421 http://www.fuduntu.org/blog/ http://www.fuduntu.org/wiki/index.php/Getting_Started |
The driver file is a zip file,
where to put its contents? How to know its name of driver? |

As always, Slackware's adherence to KISS principles makes work for the user much easier. |

Reducing the 600 to 2 was just a theoretically speaking; 'what if' they were the last distro's on the planet- You can build a pkg from source in 5 seconds! That is amazing! Thanks for teaching me about Slackware!;) |
Quote:
When you look at the driver in it's package what is the description or properties? The name of the driver should be in it's description or show the details of it in the properties window- What (if you can tell) is the extension at the end of that file? Hope it's not .exe- |

@future_computer: Please post the contents of the .zip-file you downloaded. |
Thanks for the New Debian Maintainers Guide and the How To create a RPM pkg.!:D

We all have our preferences.As an example; I use Debian and Fedora but my roomate uses Windows 7- From what I'm comprehending from what your telling me; Slackware sounds very stable and superior in functionality and performance in regard to it's own management tools. |

For other people having to resolve dependencies manually is a no-go and outweighs by far the advantages of the simple and straightforward package management. The same is true for the actual configuration of the distro, someone used to (and wanting to) configure the system using GUI dialogs may possibly not want to use plain textfiles for configuration. For me Slackware is the best distribution out there, it fits my style of working with the system perfectly, so for me it is superior. If it is superior for you can only you decide, so trying it is the best option you have and you have nothing to loose if you do so (but maybe you win a new favorite distro and the Slackware community a new member). |

I'm currently running Fedora 17 but will soon have to do a fresh install of Fedora 18. At that time I may not even install it and consider Slackware instead. Agreed; I have nothing to loose by trying it- But first I must learn more about Slackware(read the documentation) to feel at home with it's fresh install and read the all of the release notes and anything else I can get my hands on. I'm a strong beliver in preparation before the actually performance. I re-searched Fedora for 4 weeks before I installed it and I'm glad I did- Wonder what that zip file of future_computer's consist of? He would use yum to unzip that file right? Like: Code:
unzip file.zip |
Yum is a package manager, it is not used for anything that is not a package.

Debian and Fedora pulling in the dependencies for me. Now I understand why Slackware is a good teacher! ! (not yelling just happy; what your teaching me) I appreciate you filling in the blanks for me. Thanks TobiSGD!:D |

Looking for a cups driver and doing some reading to help you. http://www.fuduntu.org/wiki/index.php/Tutorials Here's the forum for your disto. I'll look in there and see what is posted. http://www.fuduntu.org/forum/ |
Look in Applications Menu> Administration> Printing and go through the Printing Wizard, set up your printer and see if that helps.
Look in your /usr/lib/cups and see if you have 'gutenprint' Gutenprint is a very high quality package of printer drivers for Ghostscript and CUPS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gutenprint To print a page try running: Quote:

As of now only the 2/3 distributions ran on my computers for months and Fuduntu is one of them.
Simplicity of Gnome2 with rolling releases (lastest software) and snappier performance, I am impressed. |
I am using Zorin now, I installed it on a USB3.0 external drive, it runs very fast.
|
Yes, Zorin is nice. I downloaded it and tried a Live CD a few months ago-
Enjoy your new Zorin future_computer-;) |
Fuduntu have GNENOME GUI, even though it is FEDORA based linux distribution, it is more user friendly like Ubuntu distribution
