Bodhi Linux is a lightweight Linux distribution based on Ubuntu, that uses the Enlightenment window manager.[2] The philosophy for the distribution is to provide a minimal base system so that users can populate it with the software they want. Thus, by default it only includes software that is essential to most Linux users, including file browsers (PCManFM and EFM), a web browser (Midori) and a terminal emulator (Terminology). It does not include software or features that its developers deem as unnecessary. To make populating systems with software easy, Bodhi Linux developers maintain an online database of lightweight software that can be installed in one click via apturl.

In addition to the standard version of Bodhi Linux, which is for Intel-compatible processors, there is an alpha release version for tablet devices with ARM processors, based on Debian.[3]

Performance

System requirements include 128 MB RAM, 1.5 GB hard disk space, and a 300 MHz processor.[4] By using Enlightenment DR17, Bodhi provides rich desktop effects and animations that do not require high end computer hardware.[5] An independent test showed that GIMP started up in 4.7 seconds on Bodhi Linux and 11.1 seconds on Ubuntu.[6] The Enlightenment window manager, as well as the tools developed specifically for Bodhi Linux, were written in the C programming language.[7]
