Puredyne and APODIO are ‘live CD’ projects – distribution versions of  
Gnu/Linux operating system, which boot on any PC laptop or desktop,  
including the intel-based Mac and x86 netbooks. These distributions  
are dedicated to creative multimedia tools for audio/video processing  
and real-time performance and aims to provide a full set of tools for  
the average media artists needs.

In addition to these two initiatives, we would like to draw attention  
to the practice of developing custom GNU/Linux distributions tailored  
for specific uses such as media production, audio/video streaming,  
hacktivism, art installations and more. Other such initiatives include  
dyne:bolic, Sahabuntu and PikseLiveCD.
