Dyne:bolic is a preconfigured GNU/Linux system which runs without installing anything on you harddisks, to run it doesn't need to make any change to your stored data, in fact you can also boot it on diskless computers. The whole operating system fits on a single CD. It can also run from harddisk, without the need to change its partition geometry: just store a local copy of one file big ~600MB. This makes dyne:bolic very easy to be employed, while there is no risk for misconfiguration: the system comes as it is, to provide you with a slick desktop full of applications ready to use.
The desktop is managed by WindowMaker, it offers you multiple desktops (try alt+2 and other numbers) and a menu that you can recall by clicking the right mouse button on the background. On the upper right corner you have your storage devices which you can access with a double click, on the lower right corner you have a system monitor informing about your computer usage.
The menu of dyne:bolic is organized by tasks, in categories. You can easily find software to play, record, edit and stream both audio and video, communicate and publish text, webpages, 3d animations and more. And of course you have also games ;)
