fact

Michael Connor (FACT, UK)

dyne:bolic GNU/Linux is a live bootable distribution which works directly from a CD without the need to install or change anything on hard disk. It recognizes most common hardware devices and offers a vast range of softwares for sound and video production, streaming, 3D modeling, peer-to-peer/filesharing, deejaying and veejaying, and much more. The main feature of the dyne:bolic CD is its full pre-configuration for live-streaming over the internet. To run your own radio station, just reboot your computer and start your show.

Born as a grassroots effort to spread free software and the spirit of sharing information, dyne:bolic was developed to suit the needs of media activists in order to stimulate the production - and fruition - of digital and analog information.
