Submission + - A Breath of Fresh Air from Europe
Tom Russell writes: "Amidst the patent doom and gloom from America, a breath of fresh air arrives from Europe in the form of version 2.3 of the dynebolic distro from http://www.dyne.org./
"Dyne:bolic is being developed since more than 5 years and optimized to run also on older machines commonly found in Africa America Asia Europe and Oceania. It includes code from hundreds of programmers all around the world, with a lively community of artists, teachers and developers who use, distribute and adapt this platform according to their needs and desires.
This operating system is a grassroot effort to share independent knowledge, it keeps away from commercial speculations and capitalist corporations, because CREATIONS WANT TO BE FREE.
Starting from this release dyne:II core runs efficiently on solid state devices, loading its system from a compact-flash or similar controller. It has been tested on some embedded setups with extremely good results in terms of speed and power saving. Moreover, this release significantly improves stability and performance, running on a brand new 2.6.18 kernel optimized for low latency realtime. New and updated software include: VNC for remote desktop operation and recording, MPlayer and ffmpeg audio/video codecs, DVD recording tools, Ksubtitle editor, FUSE and pcmcia card autodetection."
That's what I like about Linux. There's always something fantastically innovative and free happening in some corner of the world despite the best efforts of predatory capitalistic organisations."
