WHY TO NAME “BODHI”…?

Necessity is root of unhappiness…In way to pursuit happiness one must decrease his needs to achieve internal

Conclusion

Its good for those who don’t want to throw there throw there old system as there is tradition in IndiaWe always try to reuse our stuff……But  for me its OS for experience user who know what they want and how they can get itFor new babies they can give it one shotAt the end of the day, removing 300MB of disk data results in a totally crippled distribution, with a wagonload of problems, errors and inconsistenciesit could become one day a great system, but the first impression is everything.
