    Agreed !


    I wanted to try Bodhi Linux but I could only find the download on Sourceforge , so I chose to do without it , for now.
    I just can't live with all the bundled crapware .... and yes , I know all the arguments .... economic necessities ,
    changing business models etc , etc ...

    Sad to say , but that's the way wind blows ....

    Another MDL member kindly gave a link to download Bodhi from Softpedia ....

    unfortunately it links straight to Sourceforge .... irritating !

    SourceForge (or how I call it: Source-poopy-forge) is now under new management (since this year) - Slashdot Media to be specific. So most issue are now fixed, there is also no crapware bundles anymore. So for me there is nothing wrong with SourceForge but I still prefer other services, not because SF past history more because I crow up with others.
