The distro also features updated Mozilla Firefox web browser and Mozilla Thunderbird mail client, as well as the famous GIMP 2.8 image editor software.
"
I would like to announce the immediate availability of Fuduntu 2012.3, our third quarterly release for 2012. Like all previous Fuduntu releases, this release follows our tradition of making small incremental distribution improvements that don’t sacrifice the stability of our Linux distribution."

official release announcement.

The Fuduntu software repositories also host lots of proprietary video and wireless drivers, such as Nvidia 290.10 video driver, ATI Catalyst 12.4 display driver, and Broadcom Wi-Fi Adapter driver 5.100.82.112.
Existing Fuduntu users can upgrade their currently installed versions to the brand-new Fuduntu 2012.3 through the usual update process, without downloading or installing anything from the new ISO images. However, GRUB 2 won't be upgraded automatically, so it should be manually updated following this procedure.
