![]()  LinuxWelt, a well known german Linux magazine inserted BL 7.0 on its cover CD ( 4 Top Systems! ). I haven't read the article yet, but I will. I find a little strange that they do it with an alpha version. |

Not sure if legal, but I would like to have a pdf version. Of course only an article with Bodhi linux review. Maybe it could be possible if we ask them for community purposes.

Well, on the whole it is just an article that presents the advantages and (supposed) disadvantages of Bodhi. It is not really a review, but in general provides some general information. It emphasizes that there is no SNAP. And they praise that it is now easier to get the necessary translations, which makes sense for a German magazine (although I never had any trouble to get all the necessary translations with any version of Bodhi). What I found surprising is that they announced to have changed the regular iso somehow by adding firefox from the launchpad repository.
Well, Bodhi has been published on a DVD in Germany. Sounds good enough to me.
Since I am already here ... Almost no flaws with the last alpha. I was able to install everything I needed.
Only two things: 1) It happened on one occasion that the settings panel was shown after reboot after I had changed something in the session before in the panel. Theme was 'passion'. I changed the theme then and everything was OK again. I could even return to 'passion' without any problems later. 2) I am not sure about this: When installing Bodhi, I caught a glimpse of an announcement that there would be some kind of documentation later on. Is this a reference to Roger Carter's guideline for beginners (fantastic work by Roger by the way!)?
So ... on the whole ... great work! The alpha is in constant use with me already. Thank you so much. Kind regards from Germany. |

I also find it surprising they don't wait for release to publish it, and label it as 7.0 instead of 7.0α (or 7.0α5) on the cover. Perhaps the article itself is more specific. I think this is the second print magazine that has included an alpha version Bodhi too, didn't Linux Format (UK) do it last year, or maybe I'm remembering wrong.
The Bodhi 7α5 iso does in fact include the launchpad ppa for firefox tho, so them mentioning that isn't super surprising.
