Dlshad Othman, a Syrian hacker and anti-Assad activist (you might remember him for Stephan Faris' piece on the hackers of Damascus on Businessweek) is launching uVirtus Linux today in DC (see event here: https://www.uvirtus.org/?p=139).
uVIrtus Linux, according to the project's site ( https://www.uvirtus.org/?page_id=4) is a fully encrypted OS based on Debian that has encryption tools preconfigured so that activist in Syria can use it to avoid governemnt surveillance. What do you guys think about this project? Reminds me a little bit of FreedomBox (without the hardware).
