About Byzantium

(logo)

Project Byzantium is a live distribution of LInux which makes it fast and easy to set up ad-hoc wireless mesh networks in spaces where Internet access is either non-existent (the Katrina Problem) or sufficiently compromised that it is unworkable or dangerous to use (the Egypt Problem). Byzantium Linux is designed to run on any wifi-enabled x86 computer and provides functional replicas of services used by activists and community organizers to find one another, exchange information, and organize. The intended use case of Byzantium Linux involves wifi-enabled mobile devices (like smartphones and MP3 players) as clients.
