GNU/Linux based live bootable CD-ROM

DyneBolic is a really cool Blasting live bootable CD-ROM, this means is a neat disk you put in your cd reader and reboot the machine, having a complete operative system recognizing your sound, video, TV and network cards and running only with Free Software. DyneBolic works without the need of harddisks, you need just some low profile requirements (see below) and you'll get back true Love

This distribution is an effort to give everyone the possibility to discover how GNU/Linux and free software taste better than any other operative system; while it is also a way to support research in free software development: if you think that any customization of DyneBolic could be useful for your goals don't hesitate to [http://dyne.org/hackers.php contact us].

At least, if you only used winblooze until know and you want to know what the hell of software i'm doing, then you have a easy chance of trying it out. (jaromil)

LATEST VERSION IS 0.4.2 released on 30 june 2002
