I have noticed your systray has a little glitch. Connection manager icon is truncated. Try to upgrade moksha, reset and look if better. If not, consider adding env_variable MOKSHA_SYSTRAY_SPACING with value 4 or bigger. bodhilinux.boards.net/post/1871Stefan How do I update Moksha? I cancelled the notifier. Is there a command? Also, if I reset, do I have to configure it all over again? Thanks, Mike |

Open terminology and paste
sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade
now restart Moksha with CTRL ALT END. (oh I said reset, but I meant restart, sorry)

Interestingly, the problem seems to have fixed itself without any intervention on my part. I'll hold off on doing the update for now. If it ain't broke...

It’s always good to update and upgrade. Keeps your system secure. Glad your issue has gone away.

One thing I could add here based on the topic of this thread, is that I tried Zorin OS 15 recently on the same old Netbook I am using to type this message with now.
Sorry to any Zorin OS fans on here, but even the Lite version wasn't a patch on Bodhi in terms of speed. The interface MIGHT look nicer than Bodhi green but honestly, Bodhi just works and reacts the way it should.

I use the eepdater, because I can never figure out which of the three commands to go with. The only problem is, the eepdater hangs at the end, but I have found you can just restart at that point and things will be fine. |

We got rid eepdater. The reason was it does not handle the updater YES/NO questions. I can suggest you using command line way or synaptic which is a GUI.
Commands are not that hard to remember:
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade

If you do Start --> About OS --> Help ---> Installing Software you will see this:
You can always cut & paste it from there into terminal.

I'm confused re: update vs. upgrade. Does it mean a point-upgrade? I want to make sure I stay with the 5 year support version.  |

sudo apt update
It means the repository refresh. It will refresh the all packages which have been uploaded to the repo. For example when I or Ylee upload some new theme I made with higher package version. After update it know we have a new version.
sudo apt dist-upgrade
It means the all packages with newer version will be upgraded with all dependecies

You can also put aliases in your .bashrc file so you don’t have to use the full commands. In a terminal do Then add lines like this. Saves typing the full thing every time. I have aliases for most common commands. |

Or you could just turn on unattended-upgrades, which is already installed  In terms of the thread topic, this 16 year old laptop also boots Barry Kauler's EasyOS: easyos.org/ and Fossapup64: www.blog.puppylinux.com/fossapup64-releaseI do like Bodhi though. Edit: And since I accidentally deleted those two when I installed Bodhi 6, now my backup boot distros include CrunchBangPlusPlus, FossaDog - which is a dog, not a puppy, but is light and puppy-like and my old Bodhi 5.1 install. |

I know I dig out an pretty old thread,but
I saw Slitaz, puppy mentioned, personally i used lxle pretty long time, felt good, "lightweight" (not as lite as the formerly mentioned), based on debian/ubuntu. Good OOTB experience. While working and playing on lxle it didn't lag or anything but has pretty much stuff preinstalled.
anyone ever tried anti-x? i once installed it but i would say it didn't feel good for me. didn't like it, though its fast
