<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><a href="http://www.bodhilinux.com/">Bodhi Linux</a> is a minimalistic Linux distribution that uses the Enlightenment Desktop (E17)</b>. Based on Ubuntu, Bodhi Linux is a semi-rolling release distribution: it comes with the core Ubuntu LTS packages but it also uses backports for its applications so the users can get the latest app updates.</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/bodhi-desktop.png" rel="image_group" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Bodhi Linux 2.2.0: Desktop profile, default theme"><img alt="Bodhi Linux 2.2.0 Desktop" src="http://img.netupd8.com/bodhi-desktop_thumb.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Bodhi Linux 2.2.0: Desktop profile, default theme</td></tr></tbody></table></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The latest <b>Bodhi Linux 2.2.0</b>, <a href="http://jeffhoogland.blogspot.ro/2013/01/bodhi-linux-220-released.html">released</a> yesterday, is the first version to ship with the new <b>stable E17 desktop</b>. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But that's not all, the new release also comes with <b>two 32bit versions</b>: one that has PAE enabled by default and one that uses the non-PAE Linux Kernel - however, the non-PAE Kernel is older: 3.2 while the PAE-enabled version ships with the 3.7 Kernel.
