Bodhi Linux Release Schedule

Posted on 12:18 by Unknown
With the recent release of Bodhi Linux 1.3.0 I've had a few questions as to what our release cycle is exactly. I'd like to take a short moment today to clarify what exactly on current release schedule looks like. Our version numbering looks something like this:x.y.zWhere x represents a major release, y represents an update (or point) release and z represents a bug fix release.We have a two year major release cycle.

Dear Open Source Free Loaders

Posted on 14:04 by Unknown
This is an open letter to all the open source free loaders out there - you know who you are.One day you heard about this awesome thing called free software. You didn't know about the difference between free as in freedom and free as in beer - nor did you care. You came here simply because you heard you could get something for nothing.As soon as you have your something, you are content - for the moment. Then something does not behave as expected, you can't figure something out or a true issue occurs.You don't ask for help. You don't report...

HOWTO: Get right to X with No Display Manager

Posted on 21:17 by Unknown
GDM, KDM, LXDM, LightDM - so many display managers so little time! If your not sure what a "Display Manager" does on your Linux system, in short it is the piece of software that starts your graphical user interface and manages your user login.  I've been doing more and more work with ARM hardware of the late and most times with embedded devices there is little (or no) need for a display manager to be present. You want to get right to your desktop and just start using the system.If you have a single user computer odds are you also have no need...

HOWTO: Force Skype to use Alsa on Linux

Posted on 20:04 by Unknown
Like it or not Skype is a popular piece of software. In fact it is so popular it is the only piece of voice communication software a number of my friends will use. Because of this I have an account an use it on my Bodhi system every now and then (at least it has a native - if poor - Linux client and I don't have to run it via Wine). In case you didn't know - Bodhi ships with just the Alsa sound server by default (there are a number of reasons for this - none of which I am going to get into here) and luckily Skype installs and works perfectly fine...
