Bodhi Linux uses a fork of the Enlightenment DDR-17 release, called the Moksha Desktop, (which enables a number of very nice effects that can be enjoyed on low- to high-end hardware) and is based on the current Ubuntu Linux LTS (Long Term Support) release.
Bodhi Linux is a lightweight desktop platform that installs as easily as any operating system and comes with a minimum amount of applications, but it includes its own software center (Bodhi AppCenter) for installing everything you need to be productive.
