Jaromil says the main addition to version two, currently in beta, is that it will include all the compiler tools required in order to modify it.

"So far live meant demo, now live really means live, so you"ll be able to adapt your own version of the live CD wherever you want," he said.

"You can boot a RW CD, copy a directory on the hard disk, modify its contents and burn it back, without repartitioning anything, to have a Dyne:II system customized for your needs. You can install things from almost any available binary packages (deb, rpm, tgz), plus with new systems like Zero Install and Autopackage."

Dyne:bolicII will also have additional modules that you can drop into a directory before booting, with collections of more software not included in the core. Other changes include increased security for user interaction, the ability to write modifications in the "usr," advanced thin client functionality and modular design to be easily combined with other software.

"It"s also faster than the previous version, taking full advantage of most recent developments in desktop technology for GNU/Linux," said Jaromil.

There are many differences between Dyne:bolic and distros like Ubuntu and SuSE, according to Jaromil.
