Dyne:bolic: A broadcast studio on a Linux CD
There are Linux distributions galore that target office, home, and server systems. But a new Linux distribution promises to provide a multimedia studio -- complete with the ability to transmit Webcasts worldwide -- without ever installing any software on your hard drive. Sound impossible? Not for a new Linux distribution called Dyne:bolic. [Linux.Com: NewsForge Reports]
I find this really interesting. DIY webcasting in a box, or in this case, on a CD. Aside from the convenience of not having to to suffer through installation and configuration, what could also make this interesting is its mobility - you could move your "station" from computer to computer pretty much at will, making detection and location that much harder. Might also have some interesting mobile audio blogging capabilities, given a laptop and readily available wifi. Online gypsy pirate radio, anyone?
