From Fedora Project Wiki
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?
The matter is that Fedora users in Russia and USA or Europe (for example) use different software. Many applications which Russian users need are not included in Fedora distribution on default. So our team make an effort to save time of customization of Fedora for users needs.
The principal goals of RFRemix are:
- to adapt the distribution for Russian (and CIS) users needs;
- to support in Russian (forum, mailing lists, bugzilla);
- to simplify contact with community:
- local communication in Russian;
- help to users with language barrier;
- оперативность исправления языкозависимых багов и критических ошибок (невозможность работы пользователя) в своем репозитории, пока апстрим не примет решение;
