[Kim Cascone]

APODIO IS A COMPLETE AUDIO / VIDEO SYSTEM ON A BOOTABLE CD UNDER GNU/ 
LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM

-> APODIO 4.2.23 is available right now at sourceforge :
http://sourceforge.net/projects/apodio

please we also need your feeback!! just interact with us on
http://www.apodio.org (comments, problems, ideas...etc)

-> APODIO is a GNU/Linux platform containing audio, text-friendly,  
graphic and video tools. It can be used as a liveCD or be installed  
onto a partition of your hard disk.

-> APODIO is a GNU/GPL project, a part of the GNU/Linux Mandriva family:

      APODIO uses a well known system operating the GNOME or
Windowmaker desktops, which are well documented and recognized by the
stable and growing Mandrake community.

    APODIO can easily and quickly be installed, as a whole, coherent,
pre-set and instantly ready system on your computer, rather than a
ramshakle combination of packages, And what you see as you use the
LiveCD is also what you get after the installation.

    APODIO respects the 'free' software tradition because it fully
supports Mandriva without upsetting Mandriva's convenient software
packages and administrative scripts and because the liveCD generative
scripts are always accessible : once you have installed APODIO, you can
generate a new liveCD out of your own installation, onto a CD or on a
DVD.

    APODIO is a free project under GNU/GPL licence, that fully
complies with the GNU spirit and standards, as it encourages knowledge
diffusion and knowledge sharing in the practice of multi-media tools,
rather than just replacing an economic dependency with a technical one.
APODIO is part of a long term undertaking - not just a one off
achievement.
