Fusion Linux 14 Thorium - Fedora Plus Plus

Hats off - here's my long, thorough review of Fusion Linux 14 Thorium, a Fedora-based distribution designed to work out of the box, covering look and feel with Mint menu and Windows 7 like pinned applications, Wireless, Bluetooth, Samba, Compiz effects, applications choice, multimedia support - Flash, MP3, QuickTime, Microsoft Media Server (MMS), installation in a dual-boot setup, post-install script, easy printing, stability, suspend & resume, system resources, as well as problems like Gnome crashes, SELinux annoyances, badly configured programs, comparison to other RedHat-based distributions, and more. Enjoy.

Wow a really nice Fedora fork? This is an alternative universe right? Geez, mebbe someday Opensuse will make it easy to install new ppas and then I'll know we are in BizzaroLand(tm).

 

too many beta softwares firefox out of box crash 4 crashes

i cannot comment this distro as i didnt download it yet or install it but too much crashes dispointed me also too many beta programes (not a good sign)

hope after the update there is diffrent story

overall again

one of very nice and genuine review Mrkvonic

yes long term support LOOL

so Scientific is again a good Suggestion form your site to everyone who looking for longterm distro

 

Mrkvonixc is the world champ of multiple operating systems. You can't boot too many distros, lol.

There's probably plenty of room to run them all on modern computers.

 

Mrkvonic just posted a review of Fusion 14 Thorium... he reports a few crashes and it may have more software than most newbies would ever use but I suppose its easier to remove software you don't need than to find software you must have.

Its a new Fedora Remix distro so flaws are to be expected but bottom line and my view is somewhat from his verdict would be it shows a lot of promise as a remix and things can only get better in the future... if the developers work twice as hard to make the next version twice as better.

He'll be reviewing Fuduntu next week.

Cheers!

 

Hvala Igor. Nice review as usual.
Strange mixed bag of distros though...
User friendly mint menu and SELinux, tons of apps (I mean 'Blender'...really?), gnome crashes on live and install usage but also easy printing.
Seems like hardcore + user-friendly + everything + kitchen sink.

Anyway, thanks for the review, saves me a download and multiple hours.
