Bodhi Linux is a light weight Linux distribution using the Enlightenment window manager and based upon Ubuntu.[2] Its philosophy is to provide a base system with a minimal desktop, file browser, web browser, terminal emulator and leave the exact choice of applications to the user. They also 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]
