“Bodhi Linux is NOT yet another Ubuntu based Linux
distro. Bodhi Linux is among a very few number of Ubuntu based
distros that run Enlightenment(E17) window manager instead of the
popular alternatives like GNOME or KDE. I had never used anything
other than GNOME, KDE and XFCE desktops before and I have to tell
you, my experience with Enlightenment desktop has been a completely
refreshing one.

“Installing Bodhi Linux

“I downloaded latest Bodhi Linux 0.4.1 from Bodhi Linux website
via torrent. I first installed it in my USB drive(using USB Startup
Disk Creator app in Ubuntu) and then tried to boot Bodhi Linux from
it. But for some strange reasons, it didn’t work. It got stuck in a
boot prompt and nothing worked. I tried it in my PC and laptop
without any results. Later, I burned a CD with Bodhi Linux and
tried booting from it.”
