  • 64-bit Bodhi Linux 7.0.0 s76 is perfect, lightweight, and fast. Thanks to the Bodhi Linux team.
  • my windows xp computer died today and I was recommended this distro, so I tried it and while it didn't run as fast, is the best distro that ran on it with the most up to date experience thx.
  • Best lightweight distro ever! Makes new hardware better and old hardware fly like it's new. Are you tired of Gnome? Plasma choices overwhelming you? Moksha desktop (based on Enlightenment e17) is revolutionary and saves tons of mouseclicks, you never need to look for your menus again. - click anywhere! If you have 32-bit hardware, which is getting really old by now, Bodhi has 5.1 official, 6.0 beta (based on Debian). Small group of devs are very responsive to your every question. I donate to this project.

  • Works wonderful I installed on a non operating windows 7 ultimate system & runs better than that ever could. Automatically installed missing drivers (in my case it was Bluetooth, wlan & slui) uses chromium browser with TONS of customization options.
  • After several years enjoying IMHO the BEST EVER o/s ever devised.. (Klaus Knopper to be more precise) my luck ran out. Newer versions of Knoppix (post 7.6.1) accommodated the use of (PAE) physical address extension. This wipes out the entire T-4X line of IBM Thinkpad laptops using the "Pentium M" 32-Bit CPU's. Bodhi extends the useful life of all these models for a little longer. Aside from "cooling fan failures" these T-series Thinkpads fare quite well. Bodhi delivers exceptional support and I give them 5-stars.

  • I accepted the task of resuscitating a profoundly beat-up 12 year old Acer Aspire 5315 (Windows XP) with no operating system, battery, battery compartment cover, HDD or power supply. After judging the screen, keyboard, and internal components as intact, I collected the needed elements, restored & detailed the device, culminating in a still 12 year old but now attractive & fully functional laptop. After testing & rejecting numerous distros (freezing, crashing, less than user friendly, problematical installations), I found, tested & installed this one, which, after pairing seamlessly with the old Acer and the old Gentleman I repaired it for has earned, in my humble opinion, the rating I have applied. Thank you very much for this superbly designed OS. Regards, Ellis..
  • Lite, Simple, Minimal, and Powerful
  • If you want to revive your old PC you should consider installing this lightweight linux distro!
  • As user with little LINUX experience installation was surprisingly simple! Runs smooth on my old laptop
  • Not a single freeze session on my old Dell laptop
  • It does work with a non-PAE processor?
  • wow sounds great
  • Buyuk proje 1 numara, biraz daha gelishmesi lazim oda zamanla olur InshaAllah. (Gozumdeki 1 numarali linux)

  • Jeff Hogland and his team have done an excellent job with their Moksha fork of the Enlightenment desktop. While it may not be for the newcomer or your granny's PC, I've found it to be more reliable and solid than WinXP ever was, and more beautiful and customizable than any other DE out there.

  • Bodhi Linux has been a real eye-opener for us since version 1.0 in 2011. Then as now, it presented a sumptuous implementation of the Enlightenment desktop built onto a base of the current Ubuntu LTS release. ************************************************************************************** ***************This is an update of my 2014 report************ I'd been trying E16 & E17 on various distros, liking it very much, but stability issues and the closure of varii distros kept throwing me back to Ubuntu with a sigh. In 2011 that option had gone away - Canonical had gone for 'Unity' which just plain did not work on most of our hardware - and bloated too. Four years later Ubuntu's sadly still too weighty for a lot of our machines. So it was with delight that I tried (and quickly installed) Bodhi 1.0 to see how it ran in comparison with the 'buntu variants. It looked good and was highly configurable too, so one could experiment and alter all sorts of things. It was fast! Boot times much faster than Ubuntu, and no wonder, since we were seeing a RAM usage below 80GB on some machines. It would boot and run on a 128MB RAM P3 and run acceptably with a 350MHz clock! Wow! The astonishing thing for me was that it was slightly more stable than the then-current LTS version on Xubuntu, running on identical hardware. And it was faster, more configurable, and burned less than half the RAM, even with bling turned on. That's clever. We started moving our posse across to Bodhi, and have never regretted it. The Bodhi forum community is friendly and helpful, with (in my own experience) founder and lead developer Jeff Hoogland jumping in with accurate assistance pretty much on demand. Don't know how he does it.... We now have Bodhi 3.0 running smoothly on a no-longer shiny machine with Intel ValleyView graphics that was proving resistant to doing HTPC duty with a TV and now works seamlessly. *********************************************************************************************** If you decide to have a go, remember that Bodhi starts (intentionally) as a very bare distro - enough to boot up, play with the menu,, etc. Then it's worth scanning the info in Bodhi Quick Start - maybe check the online Appcenter too. Then if you like the idea, do an install ('buntu installer, pretty simple, very fast) reboot, and return to the Appcenter to grab what you fancy for your new OS. Updates are semi-rolling, with no reinstallation needed until a major version number (eg 2.x to 3.x) is changed. Bodhi 2.x continues (it's an LTS, after all), a good place to start - but there are interesting things in Bodi 3 that are new - so do have a look at both. For our family and many friends this has been a real distro-hopper stopper! Hope you like it too.....

  • Dudes I have tried 3 other, much older distro's and none could install the @#$^% broadcom wireless nic driver on my daughter's inspiron 1300. I tried everything and then some. Then I tried Bodhi live. The diver was there!! it installed without a hitch! GREAT JOB GUYS!! I will be recommending this distro to my customers. A BIG THANKS!
