Had a quick look. No network icon so I had to open the settings from the menu. Connected with DSL OK, but no way could I find out how to configure my mobile broadband.
The problem with a lot of these lightweight distros now is that Xubuntu is so good you could easily make a "what's the point?" statement. That said, this is by far the best E17 implementation I've seen and will definitely appeal to those who don't need a shed full of apps included up front.

If other potential users of Bodhi 2 are having the same issues I saw, or just don't like the minimalistic idea behind the distro, then take a look at the remastered version called "Bloathi".
![]() http://sourceforge.net/projects/bloathilinux/ The goal behind this spin is to offer a more complete experience out of the box instead of requiring users to load their own software after install. Just wish he could have picked a better name. ![]()

Check out Sparky Linux too. No time at the moment for a full test and I'm not into gaming so I looked briefly at "Eris" rather than their latest gaming version. Seems to be good though, and built on Debian testing.

Ended up installing "Bloathi Linux" and IMO it's quite impressive.
http://www.techsupportalert.com/free...html#post80977 I fully appreciate Jeff's concept behind Bodhi and indeed his right to develop it as he sees fit, but the user base would surely have been far larger had he released in this format. I guess this won't be supported much beyond the Ubuntu base life cycle, but this is still well into next year and there's a chance a Bloathi version of 2.0 will be released. If so, I hope he does something with the mobile broadband recognition which is no longer present for most of us since 2.0. This is a real deal killer and has lost several of the Bodhi installs I recommended to folks here who all use this as their sole method of connecting. Messing around with mode switches and Sakis scripts is no good for most folks, including me, so they naturally vote with their feet when something stops working after an update.
