Fuduntu - Behind the name
Fuduntu - Pronunciation: [fuhduhntoo]
Fuduntu is a fusion of the names Fedora and Ubuntu.


Fedora - F and D from Fedora
Ubuntu - U and UNTU from Ubuntu


The name is a pun, intended to be fun, and funny, while implying that the distribution fits in-between Fedora and Ubuntu. The fun uses of the name mean that it is successful, so go ahead, have fun with it!


Just what this pun that you speak of!
