The Silicon Graybeard writes a bit on When You Need an Envelope:
A friend introduced me to the world of the TAILS distribution of Linux and secure, anonymous internet usage under the TOR Project. I took a vacation day today (if one short week is good, two short weeks are better!) and played around with for a few hours. You could spend a lot of time at the TOR project, and all of it would be well spent...
So what do you get? TAILS boots into a Debian based Linux that looks remarkably like Windows - it's the Gnome interface to Linux that Ubuntu used to use a few years ago. There's even a "look like XP camouflage" option for internet cafes and places where you want to blend in like everyone else...
You'll have a browser (Ice Weasel = Fire Fox clone), an email client (CLAWS = Thunderbird), a communicator (Pidgin), and you'll have several "Best of Linux" programs installed - GIMP, Open Office, and a fully functioning system.
An interesting looking distro.All of your actions - web use, emails, anything, is run through anonymizers.
