Bodhi Linux 3 0 0 Alpha Release

Bodhi Linux 3 0 0 Alpha Release

As promised Ive put together our first Bodhi Linux disc that is built on top of the upcoming Ubuntu 14.04 release. Keep in mind this is a very early image not intended for production machines. There will be issues.

That being said, we are very interested in user feedback on our first couple pre-release discs for this version. Because we have a new major release we are trying a few different things that we want your input of. Features of note in this 3.0.0 alpha image that different from our Bodhi 2.x.y base:

• Ubuntu 14.04 base
• E19 pre-release replaces E17
• No more manual profile/theme selection at start up
• eConnman replaces nm-applet
• Pulseaudio replaces alsa as the default audio system
• Matrilineare replaces MaXo-Remix as the default icon set
• LightDM replaces LXDM as the display manager
• eSudo replaces gksudo

The best place to give feedback regarding this release is in our 3.0.0 pre-release forum section. Let us know what you think about these changes or let us know if you have suggestions for improvement. For this first release Ive only prepared a 32bit PAE enabled ISO image. Starting with our beta release next month we will provide a non-PAE, PAE and 64bit disc image like we do for all official releases.
