Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I managed to find the setting to chose my italian keyboard layout (which, unforunately, it is not possible to chose during install....)
However, I got the message "Keyboard layout changed for this session", and every time I log out I have to chose it again.
I suppose it is because I am not root.
So: how can I make it permanent? Must I create a root desktop user? Or there is a way to sudo it?
Thank you very much
Have you tried following the instructions from their wiki?
If that does not help, take a look at /etc/default/keyboard. Bodhi seems to be based on Ubuntu, which seems to use that file for keyboard configuration. (Short of a an Ubuntu system I can't test here, but that's what a quick web search turned out...)
EDIT: I should add that most definitely you do not need to create a root desktop user. There are very few distros out there that expect you to run a desktop session as root.

Nice try, but it didn't work. I managed to change the file and set it identical to my Kubuntu one, than I rebooted, and the keyboard stayed the american one.
