14 DAY TRIAL // Bodhi is a Linux operating system based on Ubuntu that has a minimalist approach and really low system requirements. A second Release Candidate has been released by Jeff Hoogland, the leader of the project.
Bodhi Linux has been through some tough times and Jeff Hoogland left the project for a while, but he seems to be back and he's already pushed RC2 out the door, just a few weeks after the previous one. From the looks of it, the development cycle for this new version might be coming to a close, especially if the developers continue with this rhythm.
Most operating systems go one of the two ways. They either look very nice, but they have bigger system requirements, or they are very light and don't have a forgettable interface that just gets the job done. Bodhi somehow has managed to go around this problem and the end result is a distro that achieved both of those goals.
Bodhi Linux 3.0.0 will be an instant hit
Even if this is just a development version, users will find it quite stable and with little or no issues. There are some reasons why it still carries the RC tag around, but it's not obvious why and that's a good thing.
"A little over two weeks ago I announced my return to the Bodhi project and shared our 3.0.0 RC2 'Reloaded' discs. Today I would like to share a set of discs that is our third release candidate. All of the minor issues that were reported in the second release candidate have been corrected in this release and I consider these discs a very polished product," wrote Jeff Hoogland on Bodhilinux official website.
Bodhi Linux 3.0.0 comes with the Enlightenment 19.2 desktop, Linux Kernel 3.16, an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS core.
A complete list of changes can be found in the official announcement. You can download Bodhi 3.0.0 RC3 Reloaded right now from Softpedia.
