Bodhi Linux 2.4.0 Released

It has been close to six months since our last Bodhi Linux release - far too long! This is just our normal update release - meaning if you are already a Bodhi user and have been running your system updates then you already have all these additions running on your system!

To cut right to the chase - you can find direct downloads of the ISO images on Source Forge here. You can obtain torrent downloads for the ISO images later today.

Before I talk about the small details of this release, I'd like to remind folks that Bodhi is moving to a three times/year update cycle as opposed to the previous four times/year updates we'd been doing. Since E17 stabilized we have less of a reason to power out ISO images as often. Expect new releases in January/June/September from now on.

Also - can you believe it is almost the end of 2013 already? That means Bodhi 3.0.0 is less than twelve months away! It will be out sometime in the summer after Ubuntu 14.04 releases.

Back to the here and now - our 2.4.0 release features three ISO images to install from:

  • 32bit featuring a current PAE enabled kernel
  • 32bit featuring a non-PAE kernel with older hardware support
  • 64bit featuring a current kernel
This release features the E17.4 desktop, version 0.5.5 of the Midori webrowser and the 3.8 Linux kernel. As always - our default theme selection is shaken up.


On a non-Bodhi related note, I'd like to apologize for the lack of new content on my blog for the last few months. Between moving, a new position at work, keeping my wonderful wife happy, and trekking all over the US for my hobby I haven't had nearly as much time to keep up with the latest technology. Hopefully I can find some time in the future to give my musings on things again.

    According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS 13.04 was not a LTS, so i think this bodhi release is
    based on 12.04 and the next will be based on 14.04

    New user, moving from Fuduntu. Just installed Bohdi 2.3 x32 two weeks ago. Took some minor changes of habits to adapt from Gnome 2x habits. So far, everything runs OK. Will probably stick with Bohdi for good. Thanks for making the distro and for making me discover "Enlightenment" (in both figurative and concrete sense of the term :)

But steel not luck with sound on my pc. Tried everything and since release 2.3.3 does not work with Puls Audio eather (I have Sound Max), I use headphones so not matter..... BUT STILL A REALLY GREAT Linux distro that I use as primary OS every day. I use headphones so not matter....

      It rocks on similar hardware built by HP. An SSD adds icing to the cake!

    Jeff thanks for all the effort you put in!

    Reading your profile and blog entries, I am fascinated and a little envious about the kind of cool things you do with your life. Good on you mate!

    Cheers

    OUTSTANDING Distro Jeff. Only issue after 2 weeks of heavy use, when I minimize an application I can not seem to find it LOL
    I also could not rename bookmarks without crash in Minori 0.5.5 but fixed this by upgrading to 0.5.6

    I am running this on an 11 years old computer with the pae kernel. Aside from not being able to install the nvidia drivers, I have no problems at all. Thanks for a great distro!
