=== GNU/Linux based live bootable CD-ROM ===

DyneBolic is a live bootable CD-ROM, this means is a nice-looking silicium disk you put into your cd disk-tray and reboot your machine with it. You'll experience then something totally different (in case you've been just using proprietary software until now) and it's what is called '''Free Software'''. DyneBolic it's a complete operative system working '''without the need for any hard-disk''', you need just some low profile requirements (see below) and you'll get back '''true Love'''.

This product is developed in the effort to give everyone the possibility to discover how '''GNU/Linux''' tastes better than any other operative system, while representing a way to support our research developing '''Free Software'''.

DyneBolic is '''easy to use''': recognizes most of your hardware and puts online your netowork card with few clicks needed. Freedom is just one reboot away! you'll be able to '''stream''', make '''realtime video effects''' out of many supported video grabbing devices, '''surf the net''' and feel good while using a non-proprietary operative system on your computer: because it deserves it.

== history ==

DyneBolic is a branch developed out of the '''Bolic1''' project, started by the hackers from the [http://www.ecn.org/loa LOA hacklab] as a small sized CD distribution: Bolic1 offers a console interface and a complete suite of handy networking tools.

DyneBolic takes the core of that distribution adding Xwindows, hardware device automatic detection, easy to setup networking and allready setup tools like our streaming software [http://muse.dyne.org MuSE], our realtime video software [http://freej.dyne.org FreeJ] and [http://www.mozilla.org Mozilla] with everything you need to surf the net.

== authors ==

The current release of DyneBolic including all the documentation and startup scripts has been done by Denis Roio aka jaromil <jaromil@dyne.org> with the contribution of Fabio Bardella aka lobo <lobo@dyne.org>.

Bolic1 original idea and the initial boot.disk is a LOA hacklab project by c1cc10 <c1cc10@autistici.org>, bomboclat <bomboclat@autistici.org> and liw <liw@autistici.org>.

DyneBolic includes the work of hundreds of people all around the world developing free software and GNU/Linux applications, without their efforts DyneBolic would have never existed.
