Please only add software that is free (as in speech).

Please say who you are that wants it, and why (say something about it)

Features

• real harddisk install. install into real linux partition, into full debian installation. so we can add/remove any apps easily.

• pxe client boot. like ClusterKnoppix does.

• rdesktop, vnc, nx, etc. like dls.nexedi.org

• OSD & remote control

• security & encryption like ChaOS

• Xinerama
• pvr/dvr ; schedule to record a tv station at certain time.

• voip & video conference

• rip cd/vcd/dvd
• burn vcd/dvd from handycam
• ALSA 1.0.8, for better sound module support (specifically the Motif R and a number of USB keyboards)
• something similar to ltsp, easy configuration of remote X server-terminals architecture
• What about if I could install a new application on my hard-disk and then burn a new Dynebolic Bootable CD including it?
  • that can probably be UnionFS, help is welcome to set that up -jrml
• kernel 2.6 in dyne:II

  • Necessary kernel patch "OpenMosix" is not available for kernel versions above 2.4.x -martin

  • The FATX driver for Linux 2.6 is broken: serious Linux distributions for XBoxes must still use the 2.4 kernel. When they come out with Dynebolic 2, we'll lose XBox support for FATX formatted partitions (if the XBox has cromwell instead, you could wipe the drive clean and format it all as an ext3 filesystem).
• Drivers (hardware support) for:

  • WebCam Go (Creative Labs). Driver: [http://go.lamarinapunto.com/modules/news/ w9968cf] -axeloide

  • Wacom Graphire II tablet mouse - I can't use dynebolic at all as I only have the tablet: X-Evian includes support for this already so I suspect drivers are easilyavailable.
    • updates to X will support this.

  • Prism54 wireless chipset, http://prism54.org, included in kernel 2.6.5 (though still unclear whether firmware is free software)

  • Atmel wireless chipset, http://atmelwlandriver.sourceforge.net

  • vloopback (see http://veejay.sourceforge.net/mini_howto.html) vloopback lets you use software to feed a application that only takes v4l inputs. (can be found at http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/VideoFourLinuxLoopbackDevice)

  • SAA7134 Chipset (see http://linux.bytesex.org/v4l2/saa7134.html)

  • ZD1201 Zydas USB Wireless chispet - cheap and good for external USB antenna wifi mounts [http://linux-lc100020.sourceforge.net/] erisian

  • Instant webserver, e.g. XAMPP (Apache+MySQL+PHP+Perl) or monkeyd

  • Wiki, e.g. UseModWiki or Kwiki (run on Perl) / PhpWiki or PmWiki (run on PHP)

  • Software for an image-gallery, e.g. HTMLAlbum or Qdig "Quick Digital Image Gallery"
  • Network-Tools: nmap

  • Some more small games, e.g. Collapse (http://wiki.tcl.tk/10287), Spider Solitaire (http://wiki.tcl.tk/11317)

  • For each application, at least one matching datafile / document / picture / music etc.

• Nicotine - soul seek p2p network client - good community for music [http://nicotine.thegraveyard.org/] - erisian

• k3b - the easiest to use linux burning client (not sure if it would require to many kde libs) [http://k3b.sourceforge.net/] - erisian

• BitTornado - or any other Bit Torrent client - erisian

• ecamegapedal - effects processor relying on ecasound

Only useful when JACK is available

• Creox, a real time sound processor, [http://www.uid0.sk/zyzstar/?creox], it's really nice as a guitar effector, and is easier to use than for instance jack-rack.

• SuperCollider, real time audio programming language [http://supercollider.sf.net/]

  • This is still in cvs, but already quite usable, GNU/Linux version will probably be in cvs for a long long while, so it would be kewl to include it anyway, oh and there's already a Debian package somewhere. Including it will be a great way to attract hurds of enthusiastic Mac OS X musicians

MUST HAVE KILLER APPS

• Ardour - ardour.org - best ever free DAW for recording and mixing tracks
• JAMin - for mastering albums
• Rosegarden - rosegardenmusic.org - for midi composing
• Qsynth - for soft synths. throw is nome nice .sf2 soundfonts too!

put those in and dyne will rock all ass! Why bother for just a live CD? So I can take it to my friend's house in the country with dialup and rock their setup with some harddisk installing action, bOOOYAKASHA
