Methods of booting

There are several ways to use Dreamlinux to run the Linux operating system on a computer.

• Using a compact disc called a live CD, the computer user can start up (or boot) the operating system straight from the disc without installing anything on the computer.
• The user can boot Dreamlinux in the same way from an external flash drive containing the programs, connected to the computer through a USB port.
• The user can install the programs in Dreamlinux on a computer's internal hard drive and run them from there.

Graphical User Interface

Most operating systems have a graphical user interface, or GUI^{[original research?]}, which allows the user to interact with the programs using a graphical display. The GUI which Dreamlinux uses looks similar to the one used by Apple's Mac OS X operating system, with a toolbar in the center. The user can also download the "Engage" theme, which gives the toolbar some animated aspects.
