Today I would like to announce something new we will be maintaining at the Bodhi project – AppPack releases:

Unlike the normal Bodhi Linux releases which come with a minimal amount of software pre-installed, AppPack releases will include a variety of software pre-installed for folks who want minimal setup work after installing their operating system. The software included by default in the 3.1.0 AppPack ISO images includes:

Chromium Web Browser

Libre Office 5

VLC Media Player

OpenShot Video Editor

Pinta Graphics Tool

Evince Document Viewer

ePhoto Image Viewer

Qalculate Calculator

Geany Text Editor

Exterminator Task Manager

Terminology Terminal Emulator

PCManFM File Manager

Filezilla FTP Client

HexChat IRC

eepDater System Updater

Synaptic Package Manager

Printer Support

Also included by default are a plethora of themes for the Moksha Desktop:





We are hoping that the addition of this AppPack release will allow us to bring Bodhi Linux and the Moksha Desktop to a wider audience of users. If you run into any issues with this release please open a support request on our user forums. If you would like to provide feedback on this AppPack release I would encourage you to do so here. This is the first time we are officially doing something like this, so I am sure there will be ways we can further improve it in the future.

As always – thanks for choosing Bodhi!
