Bodhi Linux 2.2.0, in addition to the “newness” of E17, comes with some changes in its distribution. From now two images will remain 32-bit installation , a kernel with PAE in its latest version (3.7 on the moment, same for the 64-bit) and other without PAE, in an older version and stable kernel (the 3.2 in this case). Also, Bodhi Linux 2.2.0 debuts hybrid images , so move them to a USB key is easier than ever.

Finally, Bodhi Linux team has updated the Getting Started guide and the Enlightenment with the relevant information to the latest updates.
