A look at dyne:bolic 2.4
Dyne:bolic GNU/Linux is a live CD
distribution that can be installed to a hard drive if desired. It is user
friendly and has good hardware recognition. From the release announcement for version 2.4: codename
DHORUBA:
This release improves user-friendliness introducing
Xfce-4.4 as the new default desktop, customized for the scheme of
interaction that is familiar to dyne:bolic users. Another important new
feature is the ability to create an encrypted nest to prevent access to
personal data stored in home directories. No complicated notions are
required, our user friendly setup deals with usb and harddisk storages as
usual, in case the nest is encrypted you'll see your home icon upgraded to
fortress, then everything that goes in your nest is protected.
The installation of dyne:bolic is very simple, just copy the /dyne directory from the CD to free partition on your computer. You can also save your configuration to a USB key.
Dyne:bolic is 100% free software and it's optimized to run on slower
computers. It's also designed as a practical tool for multimedia
production: you can manipulate and broadcast both sound and video with
tools to record, edit, encode and stream.
