ISOC-NY develops new Linux distribution

Summary

Today's end-users have far more powerful hardware and far greater bandwidth than ever before. The number of users online has doubled every year and Internet access has become an essential part of daily life for people in developed nations.

At the same time the profile of the "average" Internet user has changed from a technically sophisticated person in a closed academic/research environment to an technically unsophisticated person using "user-friendly" proprietary closed source software which prevents them from understanding what their computer is actually doing when they use it. This software is normally only provided in binary form with stiff legal penalties for any attempt at modification or reverse engineering.
