In this world of  parallel dynes, pure:dyne   [osc~ 440]   
  has been created to  provide a complete and   |            
  ready  made  environment  for  artists  and   |       \m    awesome
  developers  who  are  looking  for a system   |        /)   duuude!
  dedicated  to  real time  audio  and  video   [dac~]  (\   
  processing.
The dyne:II  project provides tools  and an optimized platform to try out 
  and  work on a large range of applications.  The  pure:dyne customization 
  by goto10 comes with optimized and tested software such as supercollider, 
  icecast, csound, packet forth, fluxus and much more,  including of course
  pure data  and a great collection of essential externals and abstractions 
  (PDP, PiDiP,  Gem,  GridFlow,  RRadical, PixelTango ...). Thanks  to the 
  dyne:II  compatibility  all  the  Home  Studio  "classics" have  not been 
  forgotten  (Ardour, LADSPA,  seq24,  Rezound ...) and  numerous essential 
  graphics software are also bundled (Inkscape, Gimp, Blender ...).
The pure:dyne project is a growing  community effort maintained  by media 
  artists  for media  artists.  It  is  an ideal  platform  for audiovisual 
  performances, installations and FLOSS+ART workshops.
It is  available  as  both a  dyne:II compatible  module,  and a full low 
  latency  desktop  i686  Live  GNU/Linux  distribution,  working from hard 
  drive, CD, CF/MD or USB key.
