Jeff Hoogland has announced the availability of the first release candidate for Bodhi Linux 3.0.0, an Ubuntu-based distribution featuring the Enlightenment 19 window manager
Its a development release. I tried Bodhi once. I don't know what to say about it. Enlightenment looks nice. It's quite configurable, but I just don't think it was my kind of soup.

And I strongly urge you to read the known issues as always with any OS before any kind of install to determine if it's suitable for you.

Existing 3.0.0 Users Can Upgrade

and the link for that is here: Fixing esudo upgrade issue in 64bit beta - Bodhi Linux ForumsCode:sudo touch /usr/bin/gksu-original
sudo touch /usr/bin/gksu
sudo apt-get update
sudo dpkg -r --force-all esudo
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get install bodhi-desktop
Fairly easy and minor touch-up. So ya...post your thoughts.
