Bodhi Linux 3.0.0 Alpha Release

As promised I've put together our first Bodhi Linux disc that is built on top of the upcoming Ubuntu 14.04 release. Keep in mind this is a very early image not intended for production machines. There will be issues.

That being said, we are very interested in user feedback on our first couple pre-release discs for this version. Because we have a new major release we are trying a few different things that we want your input of. Features of note in this 3.0.0 alpha image that different from our Bodhi 2.x.y base:

• Ubuntu 14.04 base
• E19 pre-release replaces E17
• No more manual profile/theme selection at start up
• eConnman replaces nm-applet
• Pulseaudio replaces alsa as the default audio system
• Matrilineare replaces MaXo-Remix as the default icon set
• LightDM replaces LXDM as the display manager
• eSudo replaces gksudo

The best place to give feedback regarding this release is in our 3.0.0 pre-release forum section. Let us know what you think about these changes or let us know if you have suggestions for improvement. For this first release I've only prepared a 32bit PAE enabled ISO image. Starting with our beta release next month we will provide a non-PAE, PAE and 64bit disc image like we do for all official releases.

Also - don't forget you still have until the end of this month to donate and be entered in our Chromebook raffle!
