:: 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.

    and knowledge.

expensive
    hardware to speak out their words of consciousness and good will, still

    This software is free, Jah Rastafari Livity bless your freedom!

    curious to try, as you wish.

    The roots of Rasta culture can be found in Resistance to slavery. This
    software is not a business. This software is free as of speech and is one
    step in the struggle for Redemption and Freedom. This software is dedicated
    to the memory of Patrice Lumumba, Marcus Garvey, Marthin Luther King, Steve
    Biko, Walter Rodney, Malcom X, Mumia Abu Jamal and all those who still
    resist to slavery, racism and oppression, who still fight imperialism and
    seek an alternative to the egemony of capitalism in our World.
