07.10.03 dynEbolic 1.0, the operating system for media activists.
At last, version 1.0 of dynEbolic, the 'portable' Linux distribution, is out. It's portable in that it runs directly from the CD, on every PC-compatible machine. The set of software and features is impressive: automatic hardware detection, streaming, p2p, web navigation and publishing, email, encryption and even clustering, that is, the possibility to share the power of one's own CPU with other computers running dynEbolic on the same local network. This set of tools has been assembled to satisfy the needs of media activists, both newbies and 'professional'. This triumph of free software is yet another proof of the great power of the most democratic and socially sustainable model of development ever created by the self-regulation of programmers. This added value is fundamental to comprehend the two most prominent characteristics of this awesome work: the high portability and the complete transparency of the means of production. For example, the clustering feature is available even on modified X-Box consoles dynEbolic runs on with no problems at all, amusingly defined by the slogan 'El calculo unido jamas serà vencido'. dynEbolic has been developed by a large group of programmers from all around the world, coordinated by Jaromil and his own Rasta Software project.
