Old because I've been using Bodhi since version 2, and old (ancient even) because I'm in my 80s. I once wrote an ebook on using Bodhi Linux (v2, then updated to v3) but it's sadly well out of date now (it's at www.smashwords.com/books/view/393459). I've used several Linux distros, but Bodhi is definitely my favourite (excuse the spelling - I live in England). Many thanks originally to Jeff, and now to Ylee and Stefan, for all the hard work you've put into this. And thanks aalso for setting up this dedicated forum - it's much needed. It was a great loss to the community when the old forum disappeared. Keep up the good work - it's much appreciated!

Hello JollyRoger
Welcome here. I looked at your Bodhi book in the past and it had very high quality. I assume you will surprise us with Bodhi Linux 6.0 ebook. What do you think?

Glad to see ya here I also liked your books in the past, I felt they were of some help for new users and may have contributed to more people using Bodhi. I am also wondering if you have any plans for a new release of your book for our upcoming BL 6.0 release?

Thanks for your kind words. I am happy to have a go at a Bodhi 6 book, if you think it would help new users.

Just to let you know I've started work on the Bodhi 6 ebook. It will not be an update of the earlier versions (written for Bodhi 2 etc) but a complete rewrite starting from scratch. I'm basing my preparatory work on Bodhi 5.1, but will await the arrival of Bodhi 6 later in the year to finalize things. The target audience will be the same as before, i.e. new users who are not Linux experts. I'd appreciate any comments/suggestions.
