dyne:bolic is a Live CD Linux distribution concentrating on multi-media. Interesting and useful nesting feature, lets you save settings for next boot. You can also install it from the CD onto your hard-drive, which will free up ram, cd-rom/writer, and allow it to be accessed faster. Everything is compiled with optimization of slower computers (P-I/II) in mind. It runs quite well on my Pentium III with 200 megs ram. My pentium I laptop is pretty slow about some things, but thats probably because of its very slow cd-rom.
Some of the software included ready to run:
Basically, it comes with software for editing, playing and streaming audio, image, and video. It also has web software (chat,web, editing), utilities, Text editing/word processing, ftp, VNC (sever and client), network and file tools, and games (include a great light cycle tron game).
Haven't been able to test it out, but it comes setup form you to create OpenMosix nodes to make some of the programs work faster for you, letting more than one computer on your LAN to do the work. OpenMosix is designed to let software that isn't designed specifically for parallel processing to be able to. One thing this might do is allow Blender renders to finish faster. As I understand from the docs, this may require so lite hacking. As in manually changing config files, not programming or anything too hard.
