Just a few moments ago, Bodhi Linux developer Jeff Hoogland proudly announced the release and general availability of his beautifully crafted, Ubuntu-based Bodhi Linux 4.0.0 distribution.

Built on top of the recently released and Enlightenment-based Moksha 0.2.1 desktop environment, and based on the Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS (Xenial Xerus) operating system, Bodhi Linux 4.0.0 arrives in its final, production-ready state powered by the long-term supported Linux 4.4 kernel fully patched against the "Dirty COW" vulnerability.

Bodhi Linux 4.0.0 has been in development for the past four months, during which it received two Alpha snapshots and no less than three Beta builds, which brought numerous improvements, bug fixes, and lots of goodies to the GNU/Linux distribution that features its own Enlightenment-based desktop environment, the gorgeous Moksha.

"I would like to start by extending a giant thank you to all of the Bodhi Team Members who made the release possible. Stefan, Sef, Charles, Ylee, Okra, Tristram, and all our users taking the time to report issues on the forums - this release would not have happened without all of your help," said Jeff Hoogland in the release announcement.

EFL 1.18.1 is pre-installed, along with new and updated Moksha modules

Among other cool new things implemented in the Bodhi Linux 4.0.0 release, we can mention the addition of the latest Enlightenment Foundation Libraries (EFL) 1.18.1, along with a bunch of new and updated Moksha modules, as well as all the latest GNU/Linux technologies to provide users with yet another rock-solid release, so remember to donate if you like it.

Bodhi Linux 4.0.0 is available for download right now via our website, for 64-bit, 32-bit and Legacy systems. If you're running a Bodhi release from the 3.2 series, please note that you'll have to reinstall because an upgrade path is not available at the moment. However, you should also keep in mind that the Bodhi 3.x series is supported until April 2019.
