Bodhi Linux

[SealLion]

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.
Some of the customized configurations that I tried to implement within the window manager just didn't seem to work out as expected.

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.

Legacy Hardware Support

The most important new thing in this release is the addition of an ISO image that supports legacy hardware. The legacy ISO image features a 3.2 kernel that will work on 486 machines (or newer), including non-PAE hardware. This ISO image currently features the same E19 desktop that the other three discs have, but if all goes as planned the legacy disc will feature the E17 desktop by default starting with our second release candidate.

It's kind of an older kernel, don't you think?? The current stable one is 3.15.

and of course, there is also this known issue:

Existing 3.0.0 Users Can Upgrade

As always existing 3.0.0 users can simply use eepDater to get the latest and greatest system from their current install. 64bit users will need to implement this workaround though for a troublesome package that found its way into the beta.

The link for 64 bit users leads to a solution as follows:

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

and the link for that is here: Fixing esudo upgrade issue in 64bit beta - Bodhi Linux Forums

Fairly easy and minor touch-up. So ya...post your thoughts.
