Bodhi Linux 2.2.0: Desktop profile, default theme

Bodhi Linux 2.2.0, stable E17 desktop. The latest released yesterday, is the first version to ship with the new





But that's not all, the new release also comes with two 32bit versions: 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. This means that old computers that couldn't boot the previous release (or that can't boot Ubuntu 12.04 / 12.10) can now do so by using the Bodhi Linux 2.2.0 non-PAE ISO.

Also, with this release, Bodhi Linux uses hybrid ISO images so you can write the image using the "dd" command (but of course, using other tools such as Unetbootin still works).









Other changes in Bodhi Linux 2.2.0 include: updated Bodhi QuickStart guide and Bodhi Guide to Enlightenment, a new default theme along with refreshed default profiles (Bare, Compositing, Desktop, Fancy, Laptop, Table and Tiling) and some new themes installed by default.





You probably want to see some more screenshots, so here they are:

Those of you who aren't familiar with Bodhi Linux probably want to know its default application/package selection: by default, Bodhi Linux uses the Enlightenment File Manager, Midori as the default web browser, Leafpad text editor, LXTerminal, Synaptic Package Manager and LXDM for the login screen, among others.

Raspberry Pi and Samsung Chromebook ISOs were updated a couple of days ago: In other Bodhi Linux news , the
