AgendaRPM FusionWelcomeWhat is ?Time ChangeFaster & Better StartupBetter PrintingBetter Remote SupportGlitch Free AudioConnection SharingFirst Aid KitRPM 4.6RPM FusionRPM FusionSugar DesktopSolar ArtworkAnd many moreReferencesQ / AThank You

Fedora has long received a lot of criticism for not providing support for proprietary software and patented codecs out of the box, for all the reasons we’re so familiar with.All these are now a thing of past with RPM Fusion.

­Incompatibilty of a number of third party repositories with the main Fedora repositories is a thing of past with the introduction of RPM Fusion

­RPM Fusion uses Fedora's packaging guidelines (except for legal), Fedora's review process for new submissions, Fedora's VCS structure etc.

­And provies the best repositories for software that cannot be kept in official fedora repositories.
