hey ppl, the pure:dyne stable release is finally out and it's HOT :D

this one is based on the dyne:II core, but mounts a completely different
kernel (Molnar's RT patches) even more geared for realtime, i really
recommend to give it a try to anyone using jack, PD and other advanced
sound programs, it is meant to be the dyne:bolic branch explicitly
focusing on that task. Please note the minimum requirement for pure:dyne
raises to a PentiumIII class machine. If you want to spread the news,
here below there is the original announcement:

  In this world of parrallel dynes, pure:dyne   [osc~ 440]   
  has been created to  provide a complete and   |            
  ready  made  environment  for  artists  and   |       \m    awesome
  developers  who  are  looking  for a system   |        /)   duuude!
  dedicated  to  real time  audio  and  video   [dac~]  (\   
  processing.                                           

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 ...). Thanks to the
dyne:II compatibility all the Home Studio "classics" have not been
forgotten (Ardour, LADSPA, seq24, Rezound ...) and numerous essential
graphics software are also bundled (Inkscape, Gimp, Blender ...).

The pure:dyne project is a growing community effort maintained by media
artists for media artists. It is an ideal platform for audiovisual
performances, installations and FLOSS+ART workshops.

It is available as both a dyne:II compatible module, and a full low
latency desktop i686 Live GNU/Linux distribution, working from hard
drive, CD, CF/MD or USB key.
