This operating system is designed to run on a minimum of Pentium 1 MMX
processor with at least 64MB of RAM (memory), not even an harddisk is
needed. It can be used to stream online radio with a Pentium 2 400MHZ
or a Xbox game console, all very cheap on the second hand market.
Dynebolic is optimized to be simple and friendly to the users as well to the environment.
Install? Dock!
The simpliest installation ever ;)
To install just copy the dyne/ folder from inside the CD to an HardDisk
partition, no need to format, resize or delete anything ---->

Nest your Home
The Nomadic Way
Keep all your home and settings inside a single file that you can move around:
you'll not need a laptop to have an operating system with you, just a CD and
a USB memory stick ----> (more info)
Privacy protection
Noone else than *you* can ensure privacy for your personal data
The internet offers plenty of free services, on the wave of the Web2.0 fuzz and the community boom,
while all private informations are hosted on servers owned by global corporations and monopolies.
And the one that protects you rips you off - as the arabs say.
Keep your privacy with you, and keep it safe.
This operating system provides easy to use Rijndael/SHA256 encryption (AES) when nested.

Personal PC cluster
El Calculo Unido Jamas Sera' Vencido !
Running dyne:bolic you automatically join the CPU power of all the computers
on your local network: let the old computer work together with the new, united
they'll all work better ----> (more info)

Some more features
user friendly, intuitive and funky desktop interface
focus on creative tools and audio/video multimedia
it will work even if you have Micro$oft Winblows
all harddisks are mounted and fully accessible
superior optimizations compared to other systems
handcrafted by experienced
software artisans making their
own applications since years: dyne:bolic is not based on any other
distribution, it is tailored as a fresh new operating system with
some unique features.
Fully customizable via SDK
and ready for collective development (please get involved!)
To realize a slick and efficient desktop environment dyne:bolic avoids
the use of both Gnome and KDE: still consuming less resources we can offer
a good degree of user friendliness and integration thanks to XFCE.
The main feature of the dyne:bolic CD is its full preconfiguration
for live-streaming over the internet. Just image how easy it is now to
run your own radio station, it is simply a matter of rebooting your computer
and starting your show.
MUSE will allow you to stream almost anything that can be defined as
sound over the internet. You can mix up to six simultaneous sound inputs
of your machine (say microphone, line-in, some mp3s, and a couple of other
incoming streams) into one stream and send it out to the rest of the world
to listen to your show. All with the click of a mouse, no complicated
hardware to tune, no expensive software to buy, just burn a [dyne:bolic]
CD and reboot your machine.
FreeJ is a digital instrument for video livesets, featuring realtime rendering of multilayered video and chained effect filtering directly on the screen. FreeJ threats every video source as a layer, making then possible to dynamically apply on each a chain of filters, loadable as effect plugins and easily customizable. Layers are implemented to mix together live inputs (video4linux devices), DIVX/AVI files (with avifile library not included in dyne:bolic), PNG images and TEXT files word by word.
FreeJ is being developed in the hope to provide the GNU community with a free, modular and highly customizable application to perform video livesets; a free and open framework that lets anybody implement his own filters concentrating simply on the dsp algorithm developed and furthermore to combine them over any supported layer.
HasciiCam makes it possible to have live ascii video on the web. It captures video from a tv card and renders it into ascii letters, formatting the output into an html page with a refresh tag, or in a live ascii window, or in a simple text file. It gives the possiblity to anybody that has a bttv card, a unix box and a cheap modem line to show live (h)ascii video can be viewed without any need for extra applications, plugins, java etc.
