I tried an earlier bodhi and had some hardware issues off the bat - was too impatient to play with it.<br /><br />Then I tried this version of Bodhi (1.2), and I have to say, it is very comparable to crunchbang in system resources used, yet it's quite a bit flashier. It's also clear a lot of care has been put into it's aesthetic - nicely done. A distro that is light on resources and elegant at the same time is NOT so common. <br /><br />It's also very fast and responsive. I've not tried it as a production machine, so I can't personally attest to it's reliability/stability, but at first glance, it looks impressive. I think the people working on this distro are doing good things and I commend them.<br /><br /> Peace<br /><br />P.S. As to the criticism about Bodhi, Linux has TONS of distro's. You can call them re-spins, or whatever. But if more than a handful of people find them useful - than that is the best that can be expected. Bodhi has a place - because people are using it and enjoying it. The beauty of Linux is it's versatility. There is no "right" Linux, only a community of creative free spirited people experimenting with computing. Bodhi is very much an expression of creativity and integrity - my 2 cents.tshannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02061744908718010421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253115272113487284.post-77794415761678640732011-09-02T14:01:17.865+01:002011-09-02T14:01:17.865+01:00@Zenettii

I learned a lot about Linux through a few Arch installs I bunked up!<br /><br />However, I also have room for Bodhi on my laptop. I have tried many E17 distros and have found Bodhi to be the most stable. I don't use it all the time, but when an E17 mood hits, I fire it up.

Putting to one side the Jeff and team are all really nice guys, I found Bodhi was a lovely distro to use. The support from the team is prompt, even though they all have day jobs.<br /><br />Only reason I have decided to not stick with Bodhi (awesome name btw) Linux as my choice for home, is because Arch Linux was just simply better for me. Bodhi is minimal allowing the user to customise their environment and experience, but ArchLinux was just even more low level and outstanding documentation with ArchLinux.<br /><br />If it wasn't for Arch, I'd still use Bodhi.Zenettiihttps://www.binaryexistence.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253115272113487284.post-42642682647270344922011-08-26T11:14:01.758+01:002011-08-26T11:14:01.758+01:00"Enlightenment is built on Gtk+" isn'..."Enlightenment is built on Gtk+" isn't true, E is build on EFL: http://www.enlightenment.org/p.php?p=about&l=en (look at "building blocks")Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
