DreamLinux Multimedia Edition 2.2 with AIGLX provides Beryl-AIGLX by default, which can be utilized after the initial installation. One of its key features is its ability to configure AIGLX for NVIDIA and ATI cards automatically. The distribution received a favorable review for its appearance and functionality.[2]
Dreamlinux Desktop Edition 3.0 features a complete redesign. It supports a totally independent architecture named Flexiboost, based on overlaid modules. The feature allows the co-existence of two (or more) separate window managers[3] (currently Gnome and Xfce), sharing the same customized appearance. Both working environments share all the applications available.
In addition to the 700MB iso file (CD image), a 130MB Multimedia Module is also available, including DVD support. This is primarily intended for use when running from USB flash drive, rather than from live-CD mode.
The following applications were not included in previous releases:

There is also the option to install directly to a USB Memory Stick in two modes.

Dreamlinux 5.0 offers new installer called FlexiBoot which allows users to easily install Dreamlinux 5.0 in USB external hard drive and use it anywhere, or install it to the internal hard drive. MKDistro is a simple utility that allows users to build their own customized Dreamlinux and Debian-based distribution.
A Live USB version of Dreamlinux can be created manually or with UNetbootin.[5]
