However, with the growing interest in alternatives to GNOME 3 and Ubuntu's Unity, the new 14.12 release is receiving more notice. It's easy to see why: using borrowed tools, Fuduntu tweaks a GNOME 2 desktop to roughly resemble both GNOME and Unity, while offering an unusual but highly serviceable selection of applications and customization tools.

Many technologists use a Linux distribution as their corporate desktop or laptop solution. These users often have a few common requirements that apply to a large group of users.

The Fuduntu Team is always looking for new ways to improve the look, and feel of our distribution. We do this by carefully choosing components that mesh together to provide a complete desktop experience.

We at Fuduntu are all about our users. We are committed to provide them with what they want and need - be it software or support, we're there for them. Like many open source projects, ours is built around the whole idea of the community because without a community there is no Fuduntu. The users are our villagers, and we their public servants.
