:: WHAT IS DYNE:BOLIC ?

   Dyne:bolic GNU/Linux is a live bootable cd, containing a whole
   operating system that works straight from boot, without the need to
   install or change anything on the hard disk.
   If you like and want to have it on harddisk you can simply copy the
   /dyne directory on your computer: the simpliest installation ever!
   
   Dyne:bolic is user-friendly: recognizes your hardware devices (sound,
   video, firewire, and USB), and offers a VAST range of free software
   applications for multimedia production, audio and video manipulation,
   sound composition and synthesis, 3D modeling, photography, peer2peer
   filesharing, web browsing, desktop publishing, word processing, cd
   burning, email, encryption, remote conferencing, funky games, a world
   atlas navigator and even more.

   Advanced features include: a complete environment with the most advanced
   multimedia applications available on GNU/Linux, automatic clustering joining
   the CPU power between any other dyne:bolic on the local network, capability
   to work well on old PC (Pentium1 64Mb) and even XBOX game consoles, support
   to save and encrypt personal data and settings on a usb key.
   
   Dyne:bolic is shaped on the needs of media activists and artists to
   promote free speech as a tool for the production and not only the
   fruition of digital and analog informations.
   It takes birth as a grassroot effort to spread free software and the
   spirit of sharing information and knowledge.
