APODIO is a GNU/Linux platform containing audio, text-friendly, graphic and video tools. It can be used as a liveCD or be installed on 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.
