Bodhi Linux powered Chromebook Raffle

Bodhi Linux powered Chromebook Raffle


Something you may not know about Bodhi Linux is that we are 100% funded by user donations. We do not plaster our home page or user forums with ad content like so many distros do. We are very thankful to all of the folks that donate to keep our package servers running. Towards the tail end of 2011 we raffled off a Dell Netbook to a random person who donated at least five dollars during a set period of time.

This idea was very successful and since a couple of years have passed we are going to give away some more Bodhi powered hardware to a random donor. Im quite fond of my Samsung Chromebook and I recently announced how well our Debian based operating system runs on this device today.

We are going to give away at least one of these little guys to someone who donates to the Bodhi project during the first quarter of 2014:



To have a chance to win one of these wonderful netbooks simply head over Bodhis donation page and donate at least 5 USD. For every 5 USD you donate your name will be entered once into the raffle at the end of March.

I would just like to say thank you to the open source community. Your continued support has allowed us to become one of the longest lived Linux distributions that features the beautiful Enlightenment desktop by default.

If you could please share this post on your various social networks so our giveaway gets more exposure we would be very grateful!

Bodhi Linux 1 1 0 Ubuntu and Enlightenment based Promising Linux distribution

Bodhi Linux 1 1 0 Ubuntu and Enlightenment based Promising Linux distribution Bodhi Linux is a relatively new GNU/Linux distribution being developed by Jeff Hoogland. I had read couple of reviews of Bodhi Linux earlier, but comment from the maintainer of Bodhi Linux in the review of MacPup 520 Linux ( you can read this review here ) , made me take notice of Bodhi Linux, and I decided to give Bodhi Linux a try. Bodhi Linux 1.1.0 is a distribution based on popular GNU/Linux distribution Ubuntu, Bodhi is a Sanskrit word which to some extent means enlightenment, it is widely used in Buddhism and thus the name itself for Bodhi Linux is positive. Bodhi Linux is based on Enlightenment Window Manager, I am huge fan of Enlightenment, I recently reviewed MacPup 520 and I was very impressed with what I saw, thus I had huge expectations from Bodhi Linux. The test environment was very modest, I have a close to four year old Core 2 Laptop with 1.5Ghz processor, which runs VirtualBox, I tested Bodhi ...

Book Review Practical Data Analysis by Hector Cuesta

Book Review Practical Data Analysis by Hector Cuesta I have been reading this book since last week, and now I want to share my thoughts about it. I was excited to review this because Ive never heard most of the tools it features, like OpenRefine, MongoDB, and MapReduce. The book has 360 pages and surprisingly it covers a lot of topics. Along with that, is the Github repository for all the codes.  Practical Data Analysis is all about applications of statistical methodologies on computer science. I find it very useful since this was not taught in my statistics class. In college, we only practice statistics on fields like sociology, psychology, agriculture, economics, chemistry, biology, industrial engineering, and many others, but we were not onto computer science, we only deal with it when coding in R or SAS. Hal Varian once said in this video that, . . . weve got at least hundred statisticians on Google . . . And I was curious about that, I mean, what are they doing on Google? What...

Bodhi Linux 3 0 0 Release Candidate 1

Bodhi Linux 3 0 0 Release Candidate 1 At Bodhi we work firmly on a "its ready when its ready schedule" as opposed to sticking to our set release goals and churning out something we are not happy with. Better late than never as the saying goes! Just ten days after the targeted release date I am happy to share our first Release Candidate for Bodhi Linuxs third major release: As you can see from the image our default theme has matured some (it is nearly complete in fact). For a full change log you can see my running TODO list as we work towards our 3.0.0 stable release here. Download Links 32bit  - ISO Image, MD5sum Legacy  - ISO Image, MD5sum 64bit  - ISO Image, MD5sum Chromebook  - ISO Image, MD5sum Legacy Hardware Support The most important new thing in this release is the addition of an ISO image that supports legacy hardware. The legacy ISO image features a 3.2 kernel that will work on 486 machines (or newer), including non-PAE hardwar...
