Russian Fedora Remix: Difference between revisions

In other languages: English (en) русский (ru) [edit]

Russian Fedora Remix is made by Russian Fedora team. It was produced since Fedora 10 and released simultaneously with Fedora distribution.

What is the difference between Fedora and RFRemix?

Some applications which are often required by Russian users are not included in Fedora distribution by default. So our team make an effort to save time of customization of Fedora for users needs. Our long-term goal os to push (almost) all these packages to Fedora directly (we opened a feature-tracking ticket).

The main goals of RFRemix are:

to adapt the distribution for Russian-speaking users needs;
to provide some level of support in Russian language (forum, mailing lists, bugzilla);
to simplify contact within community:
- local communication in Russian;
- help users to overcome language barriers;
slightly faster response on critical bugs than that of mainstream Fedora (at least we're trying to fix issues faster)
