[edit] Dates Please!

For all the future software historians out there, I think it would be great to have the release date for each released version. bzzp 23:07, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Video Problems

Whenever i boot this one up the desktop doesnt scale right to my monitor and i have to move the mouse all the way to the right, top, left or bottom to move it further out itnot the desktop. i tried all the VGA arguments in the boot prompt and its always the same. has anyone else experienced this problem or know how to fix it?

this is not a bug, just edit the xorg.conf to have your desired resolution, or boot with proper framebuffer options. however, this is not the place where to report bugs for dyne:bolic, see http://bugs.dyne.org jaromil 14:45, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Screenshot

a screen shot from dynebolic would be really informative to get the general feel for dynebolic

i agree! btw fyi there are screenshot on website found under external links

[edit] Free Software Foundation

FSF links to dyne:bolic, http://www.gnu.org/links/links.html#FreeGNULinuxDistributions I think many Linux distro is not only free software. But dyne:bolic is one of few which does only have free software.

i have direct contact with FSF and do my best to cope with their guidelines. dynebolic is also the only GNU/Linux distribution they are mirroring so far, see ftp://ftp.gnu.org/mirrors jaromil 14:45, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] dyne:II

The entire dyne::II section is in need of a re-write. Many of the sentences read as if they were penned by a non-native English speaker, and citations are needed. ellF 20:38, 16 May 2006 (UTC)ellF

I have noticed that version 2.0 required more processing power...

[edit] Neutrality

I feel that several sections of the article are not quite NPOV; the whole article has a very sympathetic tone... --Pianohacker (Talk) 14:29, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

why a neutrality dispute? is there anyone objecting to have corrections on the article?

no, there is no dispute here. please detail what you think isn't neutral and contribute to make it better.

I have addressed the above issues in my recent edits. The page is a lot better now. --UNIXcoffee928 (Talk) 15:49, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

This article is *verry* fluffy. It really could do with some non-fan rewriting to take some of the loving tone out of it 58.7.0.146 03:54, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Not Exactly First

It may be just me, but this artice implies some inovations for which it would be wrong to assume credit.

»it is also designed to be customized by placing additional modules (dynemodules) into the ISO image, so that it may truly suit the users' needs.«

dyne:bolic loading software from modules is hardly a first. If I am not mstaken, the first versions were based on morphix, a distro whose whole focus is to load sofware or suites of software as modules.

»Unlike other LiveCD technologies, dyne:bolic can save user settings in a file on partition (or even user's own USB flash drive)«

Nor is it the first to allow users to store settings (a.k.a. persistence). I'm not exactly who was first there, but I know for a fact that DSL could store settings on a hard drive or usb storage device before dyne:bolic was even a twinkle in jaromils eye.

I certainly don't want to rag on this disto. It's very fine and fills a nich and is certainly unique. But couldn't we just focus on what it actually does, instead of making false claimes of compuiting firsts?

[edit] {{cleanup}}

Hey there. I have added the tag "{{cleanup}}" because the article in fact has absolutely no sections in it, which is poor considering the decent length of the article. If anyone would like to clean it up - please GO AHEAD. Wikipedia needs good articles and this can become one of them.

Cheers

[edit] Patent issues?

I ask myself how is it possible for Dyne:bolic to distribute MP3 software? See the discussion on Talk:Debian#The legality of distributing Debian. -- mms 10:23, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
