“Bodhi Linux is a fresh, Ubuntu-based, Linux distribution that
utilizes the Enlightenment desktop manager and only needs 1.2GB of
space for a fresh installation. Bodhi is a semi-rolling release
with two primary goals. Bodhi Linux aims to promote user choice and
provide a minimal environment. I?ve used it for several weeks now
and, although it took some getting used to, I have been impressed
by several of the features of Bodhi Linux 1.4.0. Profiles“I?ve always wondered why I have a battery indicator and other
unecessary things on my desktop panel by default. Bodhi Linux
addresses this issue by allowing users to select a profile. Bodhi
Linux Profiles control the layout of the Enlightenment (E17)
desktop. The profiles options are Bare, Fancy, Default, Desktop,
Compositing, Laptop/Netbook, Tablet, and Tiling. I selected the
Desktop profile while setting up Bodhi on my Dell XPS 400 desktop
and the Laptop/Netbook profile option while running it on my EeePC
1001p netbook. The main difference is that each profile presents
different gadgets and a theme according to hardware or user type
designated by the profile. This makes each installation tailored to
the users? needs out of the box. Best of all this can be changed at
any time by going to Settings ? All ? Settings ? Profiles in the
main menu.”
