Bodhi Linux… Ubuntu might have a competitor
Bodhi Linux is yet another attempt to convince users that you don’t have to pay 54£ (Windows 7 Home Premium) in order to use your computer for basic tasks like writing emails and browsing the Internet. Based on the ever-so-popular Ubuntu Linux, Bodhi pushes the boundaries a bit further in ease of use, resources required and “ohhhh prettyyy” factor.
Unlike many other distros, Bodhi has only 1 flavor of its operating system. This can be good or bad, depending on your point of view. Since it’s supposed to be an easy to use operating system, I can only see this as being a good thing; it eliminates an important decision that could confuse the user from the start.
Downloading the installation CD takes only but a few minutes, since they decided to host it on sourceforge. My download speed is holding steady at about 4MB/s. For a 400MB ISO file that is quite convenient.
