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.
