Bodhi Linux ARM branch will now move to ARMHF branch. The switch from ARMEL is
mainly to utilize faster system. 

 
Jeff Hoogland posted in his blog:
 
After doing some research and testing for the last week I have arrived at the conclusion that Bodhi's ARM branch will best serve our users by moving our core from Debian Wheezy ARMEL to utilize Debian Wheezy ARMHF. I'm not going to get into the technical difference between the two platforms here - just know that in general ARMHF is faster.
 
Users wishing to install bodhi desktop need to add a new repository in their sources:
 
 
and then they can install bodhi-desktop packages in the usual way.
 
New Raspberry Pi builds based on the new branch are available. They can be downloaded from here.
