Bodhi Linux 4.0.0 Beta Moksha, Based on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus
Jeff Hoogland has release a new development build of the upcoming Bodhi Linux 4.0.0, an Ubuntu-based distribution featuring a custom-built variant of the Enlightenment desktop named "Moksha"
Bodhi is an open source Linux distribution built around the Enlightenment desktop environment and based on the world’s most popular free operating system, Ubuntu Linux. It is a customizable and minimalistic distribution that combines the beauty of the Enlightenment desktop with a great collection of applications and package management utilities.
Enlightenment is the default desktop environment
Bodhi is well known for providing users with the latest builds of the lightweight and elegant Enlightenment desktop environment. The desktop is comprised only of a dock, which is placed on the upper part of the screen. The dock can be used to quickly switch between virtual workspaces, change the system locale, access the network connections, modify the volume, update the system, or access the applications and settings.
The main menu can be accessed using the left mouse click on the desktop. It can be used to open pre-installed applications, navigate the file system, run a certain command, set the virtual desktops, manage shelfs, change desktop widgets, wallpapers and themes.
This set of ISO images includes not only 32 and 64bit images that have been stripped down to under 700mb, but also a 32bit Legacy / non-PAE release to support older hardware as we always have. Other things to note in this release is that the default profile has had a number of improvements including:
- Main Menu Face-lift
- Improved Screenshot Module
- Clipboard Manager Iteration
- Better GTK / QT Application Integration
- New Theme Selection
Existing Bodhi Linux 4.0.0 pre-release users will be able to upgrade their systems to their latest updates using the package manager. They will need to manually remove / reinstall the places-moksha package though as this was incorrectly packages prior to the beta release with a bad version number. To upgrade your system and fix the places module run the following commands in order:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get remove places-moksha
sudo apt-get install bodhi-desktop
