You don't need to install anything, you don't even need an harddisk
to run a whole free software operating system running out of the box on your PC!
Download the ISO-image, burn your own CD, reboot your machine and
you'll get back true love ;^)
dyne:bolic is shaped on the needs of media activists, artists
and creatives as a practical tool for multimedia production:
you can manipulate and broadcast both sound and video with
tools to record, edit, encode and stream,
having automatically recognized most device and peripherals: audio,
video, TV, network cards, firewire, usb and more; all using only free
software!
You can employ this operating system without the need to install anything, and if you want to run it from
harddisk you just need to copy a directory: the easiest installation ever seen!
It is optimized to run on slower computers, turning them into full media stations: the minimum you need is a pentium1 or k5 PC 64Mb RAM and IDE CD-ROM, or a modded XBOX game console - and if you have more than one, you can easily do clusters.
dyne:bolic is RASTA software
released free under the
GNU General Public License.
This software is about Digital Resistance ina babylon world which tries to control the way we communicate, we share our interests and knowledge.
The Roots of Rastafari movement
are in resistance to slavery: this software is one step in the struggle for Redemption and Freedom
from proprietary, closed-source and resource intensive software.
Widely used around the world, especially in the South!
Below a message from our Hindi speaking brothers and sisters:
डाएन:बोलिक जी एन यु/लाईनक्स एक लाईव बूटेबल(बूट करने लायक) सी डी है, जिसमे एक
पूरा ओपरेटिंग् सिस्टम है जो सीधे बूट से कार्य करता है , वो भी इंस्टाल किये बगैर या
हार्डडिस्क मे बिना किसी बदलाव के ।
अगर आप इसे अपनी हार्डडिस्क पर डालना चाहते हैं तो सिर्फ़ /डाएना डायरेक्टरी को
अपने कम्प्युटर में कापी कर लें: यह इंस्टाल करने का अब तक का सबसे आसान तरीका है!
आपका पहले का सिस्टम पूरी तरह से अनछुआ रहेगा और सीडी के बिना बूट करने पर,दुबारा
वापस आ जाता है ।
डाएना:बोलिक इस्तेमाल मे बेहद ही आसान है: यह आपके सभी हार्डवेयर को आसानी से
पहचान लेता है(साउंड,वीडियो, फ़ायर वायर, मोडेम , नेट्वर्क और यू एस बी को)आपको
देता है मल्टिमीडीया सोफ़्टवेयर की बेहतरीन रेंज: जैसे आडियो और वीडीयो मनिपुलेशना,
साउंड (ध्वनि)उत्पादन और कम्पोज़िंग, थ्रीडी माडल और एनिमेशन बनाने के लिये,
फोटोग्राफी ,पीयर टू पीयर फ़ाईल शेयर करने के लिये, वेब ब्राउज़िंग ,वी जे, डेस्कटाप
पब्लिशिंग ,
सभी सोफ़्ट्वेयर बिलकुल मुफ़्त हैं ,और डाएना:बोलिक के पिछे कोई बाज़ारी अभियान नही है,
यह केवल एक सामुदायिक प्रयास है तकि नयी तकनीक को ज्यादा से ज्यादा लोगों तक
पहुंचाया जा सके और लोगों को रचनात्मकता को आज़ादी मिले।
डाएना:बोलिक को पिछले ६ वर्षो से कई आज़ाद और कुशल कलाकारों द्वारा विकसित किया
जा रहा है उन कम्प्युटर्स पर चलाने के लिये जो अफ़्रीका , अमरीका, एशिया , यूरोप और
ओशियाना देशों में इस्तेमाल होते हैं । इसमें दुनियाभर के सैकडों प्रोग्रामर्स द्वारा दिये
गये कोड्स को शामिल किया गया है, और साथ ही इसे दुनियाभर के कलाकारों , शिक्षकों
और डेवेलपर्स का समर्थन प्राप्त है ,जो इसका इस्तेमाल करते हैं ,वितरित करते हैं ,और
अपनी ज़रूरतों और इच्छाओं के मुताबिक इस प्लेटफ़ार्म को अपनाते हैं।
यह ओपरेटिंग सिस्टम ग्यान के स्वतंत्र आदान प्रदान की एक ज़मीनी कोशिश है , और साथ
ही ये व्यापारिक विचारधाराओं और पूंजीवादी संस्थानो को दूर रखता है। क्योंकि "कला को
आज़ाद होना चाहिये"
