:: 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 more than 5 years
and optimized to
run also on older machines 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.
:: WHAT'S NEW IN THIS RELEASE?
DHORUBA is a complete rebuild and modular rewrite of
the whole system,
enhanced for full usability and open for
developers to join
maintenance. Recent versions of audio and video
tools provide a fully
featured multimedia studio out of the box, ready for
being employed at
home, in classrooms and in media centers.
See it like a Nomad Distribution attached to no
hardware. You carry
your live cd/dvd/usb key loaded. you boot on it on
any machine, you do
your stuff (from a user AND/OR developer point of
view), you create a
new live cd, you remove all your traces and you leave
the camp...
=== updates and fixes in 2.2
- - dyne:II can now run all the system from USB
storage

- - Xorg has been upgraded to the latest 7.1 release
- - new VOIP phone applications Iaxcomm and Kiax
with pre-configured Blasterisk public account
- - new AddUser and Wifi configuration tools
- - grubconfig script for easy bootloader installation
- - updates to the user's manual

... and more fixes and enhancements to the core system
=== new dyne:II core features:
- - it is a multiuser system, user interaction can be
secured
- - it includes all compiler and development tools
needed to build dyne
- - you can write modifications in the /usr system and
save them
- - it has advanced thin client functionality, booting
from usb and net
- - it's modular, so you can easily add and combine
different software
- - it's slick and snappy like the preceeding
dyne:bolic, even better
;)
=== upgrading from version 1
To upgrade from version 1 to 2 just replace the
dyne/ directory with
the new one, or run the CD and answer yes when
prompted.
Before upgrading you have to manually backup the
personal contents of
your old nest and import them to a new one.
Please note that:
- - version 2 is not running on XBOX game consoles
- - version 2 does not include the OpenMosix
clustering system
=== dyne:II development history
The dyne:II core has been compiled from scratch by
Jaromil and Smilzo
in 2005. During 2006 Jaromil completed a full
rewrite of startup,
nesting, docking, configuration and sdk
scripts, aided by the
experienced testing of Aymeric Antonios and Chun of
Goto10.
The new foundation of the dyne:II core opens up the
development to more
people, providing a modular packaging system for
software collections
and the possibility to customize the liveCD
with your favourite
applications. So it is born Pure:dyne, as
the first dyne:II
customization focusing on real time audio/video
processing with pure
data.

=== roadmap
We salute and support all development done
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, the next step in this development will
be adoption of a
cross-platform build environment to cover all kinds of
hardware around.
:: FOR ACTIVISM IN CRISIS AREAS
http://streamtime.org
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.
:: 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.
