dyne:bolic 2.5.1 LiveCD
dyne:bolic GNU/Linux is a live bootable
distribution, an operating system which
works directly from the CD without the
need to install or change anything on the hard disk.
It is user-friendly, recognizes your hardware devices (sound, video, firewire, and USB) and offers a vast range of software for multimedia production, streaming, 3D modeling, photo, peer-to-peer filesharing, web browsing and publishing, word processing, email, encryption, and networking.
It also includes games and a world navigator.
It does automatic clustering, joining the CPU power between any other dyne:bolic on the local network, and works on modded XBOX consoles as well.
Surf, stream, edit, encode and broadcast both sound and video, all just in one CD you have simply to boot!
Dyne:bolic is shaped on the needs of media activists to eager the production of informations, realizing a full multimedia studio. It takes birth as a grassroot effort to spread free software and the spirit of sharing informations.
=== WHAT'S NEW in 2.5.1
Support for Java (now GNU GPL!) out of the liveCD is the special entry
of this release, along with bugfixes and snappy support for network
booting of thin clients with bootp/pxe as documented in our manual.
Ekiga has been moved out, but the Iaxcomm and Kiax phone applications
(Asterisk native protocol) are preconfigured to work with Blasterisk,
the experimental ((i))ndymedia telephone service - just press hash.
Upgraded software includes Xorg 7.2 and Mplayer.
Documentation is being updated to reflect the current setup in detail
as well facilitate translations and customizations.
At this point there are a lot of cool modules out there, including
cross-compiling kits for NintendoDS and software notation applications
