:: WHAT IS DYNE:BOLIC ?

    Dyne:bolic GNU/Linux is a live bootable cd, containing a whole
    operating system working straight from boot, without the need to
    install or change anything on the hard disk. You can try it out very
    easily and if you like it you can simply copy a directory on your
    harddisk and run it locally.

    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 streaming,
    sound composition and synthesis, 3D modeling, photography, peer2peer
    filesharing, web browsing, desktop publishing, word processing, cd
    burning, email, encryption, remote conferencing and even more.

    It also includes many games and a world atlas navigator.
    It does automatic clustering, joining the CPU power between any other
    dyne:bolic on the local network.
    Last but not least: it works on modded XBOX game consoles.

    Dyne:bolic is shaped on the needs of media activists and artists to
    stimulate 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.

    First of all the audio streaming system offered by dyne:bolic is
    completely revamped, now featuring new versions of MuSE and Icecast
    it offers the possibility to stream your radio using the 100% free
