Αντικείμενο: [dyne:bolic] RASTASOFT operating system - dyne:II GNU/Linux 2.5.2 DHORUBA -final release

re all,

That's it for the dyne:II series! this is the last release that i
mantain actively, from now on is up to the Community, I and I.

With hope that will be useful :) if you can, please consider to donate
some money to this project now: WE have a non-profit foundation with
regular bank account and even paypal, the money will go invested for
the mantainance of this software, many of us will suggest how.

I plan to keep on documenting and developing new things, but i won't
be able to dedicate so much time as i did so far to mantain dyne:II
for sure i'll be up for using it around, as i find it practical for my
tasks ;)

If someone is up for mantainance, that needs some money in exchange of
proper dedication: i've been agile so far on that, but we know how
life works, especially in babylon, so why not? let's try to support
each other with a "colletta". http://dyne.org/donate.php

Heartful Thanks to all of you, in this mailinglist and in real life,
for this wonderful community. You give me a precious gift: you make
me feel all the time spent developing this software is useful.
I'm grateful - i've never wished anything better for myself.


Thanks, a thousand flowers will blossom!

:: 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! Your
older system is untouched and comes back booting without CD.

Dyne:bolic is user-friendly: recognizes your hardware devices (sound,
video, firewire, modem, network and USB) and offers a vast range of
software for multimedia production: audio and video manipulation, sound
composition and synthesis, 3D modeling, photography, peer2peer
filesharing, web browsing, veejaying, desktop publishing, word
processing, cd burning, email, encryption, anonymity tools and more.

All software is free and there is no market operation behind
dyne:bolic, just a communal effort to widen access to modern technology
and let people be Free to Create.

Dyne:bolic is being developed since 6 years by independent and well
skilled artisans optimizing it to run on computers commonly found in
Africa America Asia Europe and Oceania. It includes code from hundreds
of programmers all around the world, with a lively community of
artists, teachers and developers who use, distribute and adapt this
platform according to their needs and desires.

This operating system is a grassroot effort to share independent
knowledge, it keeps away from commercial speculations and capitalist
corporations, because CREATIONS WANT TO BE FREE.

The system is stabilized for the final release of the dyne:II series.
This is a major bugfix for usb detection, encrypted nesting,
international keyboard input, firewire video capture and playback.
New software includes darkice/snow, oggfwd and dvgrab for minimalistic
commandline streaming receipts. Updated software include Blender,
Cinelerra and FreeJ. The image.dyne module is included by default.
The User's Manual has been completed with more informations.



=== new dyne:II core features:

- - it is a multiuser system, private data can be encrypted
- - can boot from CD, network and USB stick, perfect for thin clients
- - you don't need to download more, you have many applications at once
- - just borrowing a CD/RW and an harddisk you can repack a new liveCD
- - it's modular, so you can easily add and combine .dyne modules
- - it includes all compiler and development tools needed to build dyne


=== upgrading from version 2

To upgrade just replace the dyne/ directory with the new one, or run
the CD and answer yes when prompted.

To upgrade your nest to encrypted the easieast way is
- backup your home data on the harddisk outside the nest
- create a new encrypted nest overwriting the old one
- import manually your data into the new one

=== upgrading from version 1

Upgrade from version 1, or not? here is an overview of reasons:

Pro:
- better usability and stability, support for more devices
- possibility to run from usb and solid state devices
- ability to run in thin-client setups
- cryptographic protection for your privacy
- gathers more software and can be customized easily

Contra:
- version 2 is not running on XBOX game consoles
- version 2 does not include the OpenMosix clustering system




::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FOR ACTIVISM IN CRISIS AREAS

                       ____ __ _  _ http://www.linux.com/articles/61665


We imagine improvised expressive devices like a CD that turns your PC
into an on line streaming studio. Imagine a mob that creates a traffic
jam. Think of the religious policeman in London, the konfused kollege
kid and the jealous dentist in Baghdad and the jailed blogger blogging
on in Cairo. Building autonomous networks in extreme conditions.

Streamtime uses old and new media for the production of content and
networks in the fields of media, arts, culture and activism in crisis
areas, like Iraq. Streamtime offers a diffuse environment for
developing do-it-yourself media. We focus on a cultural sense of
finding your own way in the quagmire that is Iraq, and its
representation in the global media. We should not try to change
politics in order to foster cultural change; we should support cultural
manifestation in order to force political change.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: AUTOMATIC CRYPTO AUTONOMISM :::


A public presentation of our privacy protection mechanism was held at
the Ars Electronica Symposium 2007 - here are the slides:

               __ _  _ http://bricolabs.net/directions/goodbye_privacy


People have the right to protect their privacy as much as their freedom
to express.

It is important to keep in mind that noone else than *you* can ensure
the privacy of your personal data. Server hosted services and web
integrated technologies gather all data into huge information pools
that are made available to established economical and cultural regimes.

Since version 2.4 dyne:bolic supports strong encryption of your /home
private data with Linux dm-crypt i586 optimized Rijndael hashed SHA256,
to provide an efficient and user-friendly tool to protect your
bookmarks, addressbook, documents and emails by carrying them back with
you, protected with a fairly strong cryptographic algorithm.

A passkey to read your data is stored inside a file, which is also
protected by a password. It is possible to keep everything with you on
a small usb stick, still being sure that the data won't be easily
recovered in case you loose it. You can also give the passkey
protecting your data to a friend, to make the data unaccessible until
you meet again, which can be useful in case of tricky transports.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: 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 Resistence inna
Babylon world which tries to control more and more the way we
communicate and share information 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 consumption of
information, it's a full multimedia studio, you don't need to buy
anything to express yourself. 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.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BIG UP \o/

First of all salutes and great respect to the many developers who have
written software included in dyne:bolic: a long list of names that is
impossible to include here, you'll find information about them inside
the CD and in the documentation of each software.

Furthermore there are many contributors that patiently document bugs
and give suggestions, via email or in person, most of them are not
mentioned here, as it would be a big effort by itself to keep up to
date such a documentation... Thanks to all of you.

Special thanks for this release go to Fruity, Tati, Jean Habib,
