:: 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 and anonymity tools and more

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. This operating system is a grassroot effort to spread
free software and the spirit of sharing information and knowledge.


:: THIS IS RASTA SOFTWARE

Jah Rastafari Livity bless our Freedom! This is free software, share it
for the good of yourself and your people, respect others and let them
express, be free and let others be free. Live long and prosper in
Peace!

But, no Peace without Justice. This software is about Resistance inna
babylon world which tries to control more and more the way we
communicate and we share informations and knowledge. This software is
for all those who cannot afford to have the latest expensive hardware
to speak out their words of consciousness and good will. This software
has a full range of applications for production and not only fruition
of information, it's a full multimedia studio, you don't need to buy
anything to express your voice. Freedom and sharing of knowledge are
solid principles for evolution and that's where this software comes
from.

Inna babylon, money is the main requirement to make a voice possible to
be heard by others. Capitalist and fundamentalist governments all
around the world rule with huge TV monopolies spreading their
propaganda, silencing all criticism.

This is a struggle for Redemption from existing operating systems which
always require new expensive hardware for doing the same as ever: give
us free players but make us pay for producing our own voices. And the
one who protects you rips you off, as the Arabs say.

Dyne:bolic is a tool to produce and publish yourself, freely. There is
nothing to consume here, there is all you need to create.






:: WHAT'S NEW IN THIS RELEASE?

The brand new 2.0 "DHORUBA" release comes out after two years of
development and it's a complete rebuild and rewrite of the whole system,
it brings new possibilities in customizing the running system and makes
it modular and very easy to include new software, much more usable and
mantainable than before.

It includes up to date software especially for audio and video production, making it
more usable reliable than before for media artists and creatives to realize their ideas: latest versions of
Cinelerra, Ardour and the Jack tools provide a fully featured multimedia studio
out of the box, ready for being employed at home, in classes and in media centers.

It provides a complete development environment including the GNU C compiler, various scripting
languages and visual programming tools, plus scripts to reproduce various flavours of the CD
and switch the software modules included. Now hacking your own dyne:OS is really possible!

It lets you write over all the filesystem, even when running from CD, to make
every possible modification you require, compile and install new software or
even install packages from other distributions, for instance .deb, .tgz and .rpm binaries.

... and even more, try it and feel at /home !

a page about all software and versions included is kept up to date on
http://dev.dynebolic.org/trac.cgi/wiki/SourcePackages





:: LOW COST TECH

We started already in 2002 with the version 1 of dyne:bolic supporting
XBOX game console and Pentium-1 computers.

Now Dyne:II runs with even less requirements than the version 1: with
48MB of ram and a core system occupation of about 450MB on harddisk or
CD or USB stick: overall efficiency is enhanced to support old computers
as well to take advantage of the latest hardware.

Unfortunately this version is not yet ready to be run on the XBOX, but
stay tuned for updates and new hardware support.

We salute and plan to support all developments done in the eastern and
southern worlds and outside the capitalist empire, to produce and
distribute low power and affordable computers.

We look forward to support chinese dragons and simputers, solid state
workstations and all kind of 100$ laptops. In fact, we are there already,
next step in development will be a cross-platform binary build environment
to cover all kind of hardware around.




:: REALTIME AUDIO VIDEO PERFORMANCE

Dyne:bolic is primarily done for multimedia production: it runs the new 2.6
Linux kernel and include low-latency patches that optimize the core system
for desktop usage, plus more external modules for extended device support.

And you'll see even more with pure:dyne ....




:: DYNE:OS MODULES AND CUSTOMIZATIONS

The dyne:II project provides tools and an optimized platform to try out
and work on a large range of applications. The pure:dyne customization
by goto10 comes with optimized and tested software such as supercollider,
icecast, csound, packet forth, fluxus and much more, including of course
pure data and a great collection of essential externals and abstractions
(PDP, PiDiP, Gem, GridFlow, RRadical, PixelTango ...)

stay tuned for the upcoming release on http://puredyne.goto10.org





:: ENTERPRISE EDITION

Just joking :) dyne:bolic stays free for everyone with all features,
all sources and all juice in. Whoever you are you won't miss anything!

Dyne.org is now a foundation and can provide you with official papers
about your donation, plus all incoming donations will be published and
