DyneBolic
GNU/Linux based live bootable CD-ROM
DyneBolic is a live bootable CD-ROM, this means is a nice-looking disk you put into your cd reader 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 operating 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 network card within few clicks. Freedom is just one reboot away! you'll be able to stream with [http://muse.dyne.org MuSE], make realtime video effects with [http://freej.dyne.org FreeJ] and [http://ascii.dyne.org HasciiCam], surf the net with [http://mozilla.org Mozilla] and feel good while using a non-proprietary operative system on your computer: because it deserves it.
