I downloaded the latest Tails. They now have a tails down loader plugin for
Tails that does the download and then verifies it with a click of a button.
Pretty user friendly. I hope it's secure.
Burned it to a DVD and it actually runs pretty well on my desktop. Looks like
Gnome 3.
While a
I am so sorry. I was once where you are now.
It looks like the procedure for installing TAILS from Windows is identical:

and I cannot recommend non-free software on this forum, but if you type
"create bootable USB stick from windows" into your
Well thank you for the kind words Heather, the only thing for me about Tails
is that I'm in college and I log into the canvas website which requires
typing in my ID for college, so I'm not exactly sure how I could be anonymous
on my college website or the websites where I work on my
Ugh--holy vision issues, Batman, I meant to reply to your post, CalmStorm,
not upvote or downvote it. Since I can't just retract an oopsie, let's go
with an upvote.
Anywho, Nickman, you can just take these fine people's advice about creating
live USB sticks to check out TAILS and live USB
It's not for anonymity (not as fine-tuned as Tails), but for maximum
security.
I'd love to make parts of my OS completely unavailable from the web though,
or even from other parts of my OS, though it seems it takes some time to get
used to the way Qubes work.
But I'm not sure I need this
An 8 GB flash drive can be had in the Seattle area for about $4 or $5.
According to https://tails.boum.org/install/debian/index.en.html you need at
least 4 GB. I put it on a flash drive housed in metal with a hole so that it
fit my key ring. Thought that was kind of a cool way to go, I've
Tails on a DVD is unbearably slow. Not recommended.
I unfortunately don't have a DVD/CD slot on my computer
That nothing will be saved to USB and everything will disappear.

Okay thanks guys
I think dd is better though because startup disk creator fails a lot at least
for me.
Okay, I'll try that, what do you mean by persistence Magic?
Pros of it: No doubt their security is so much more than any other operating
system. due to their method of not trusting the bios part. not sure how they
do that though...
Cons: I tried it on my korora penguin, it didn't work very well/confusing.
not sure if it is because kororapenguin is
*Qubes Is YOU a system “*out *the *box” smart to use, recommend to read
his documentation little by little by what can contribute to the hour to use
the system.
In my experience with the system would stand out:
From my scarce technical knowledge, this system covers appearances of
security
Why??
I thought I've seen some people say on here that you shouldn't use a flash
drive because the code could basically be changed only so many times, before
it becomes useless.
>Well, that's not entirely true, I may use it at some point, but it's really
for the pro's of GNU/Linux
As easy as any debian based distro, only technical skill required is point
and click. It is maximum privacy for the layman, that's the goal and the
purpose of Tails.
What Heather wrote. It's just fully tweaked for max anonymity. Of course, for
example if you connect to a mail account you created while not being
anonymous, then you're not anonymous anymore.
So the only difficulty is the behavior of the user online.
Else it's nothing special. But that also
Your college would know you logged in so you can get credit for your homework
etc. If you use tor in tails your ISP wouldn't know because the first thing
that happens is tor sets up an encrypted channel to the tor network. No doubt
they probably know you used tor but that would be all.
I don't think I'll ever use tails either
The target user of TAILS is somebody like my daughter: she needs privacy but
has little time or interest in looking under the hood or fine tuning. I think
it's a perfect fit for journalists, activists, and people escaping from
domestic violence. I wish there was a free version of it but of
I really like all these thoughts, I've been looking for external HD drives to
install trisquel on, however I'm stumped as to what drive to get and also
I've been looking at other Operating systems like Dragora as well, what are
your guys thoughts on both of those questions I'm concerned
I think I expend enough time, I mean in my post I do acknowledge that it
seems pretty secure and that it seems it does what is meant to do.
I also pointed some dowsides. That they on their website point. Like the lack
of OpenGL, which means if you work in something like design, architecture,
Hi everyone I wanted to get your guys thoughts on Qubes OS, I've heard it is
very good in regards to security, because it is basing it's security on
isolation of parts of your internet life into what it calls Qubes, an example
would be a part of your life is in the personal section,
Okay thanks Heather, if you go to my topic entitled New Computer specs, the
info for my computer is on there
I looked into it, it seems that they think the secure approach is to use a
bunch of virtual machines to everything you need, so a virtual machine for
your banking stuff, a virtual machine to your work stuff and so on.
I don't feel like is a distribution for productivity, as it requieres 4gb
Hi,
I may need to come back later to clarify this post when I have more time and
fewer distractions. I don't know your situation, but as the mommy of an
investigative journalist, I wound up balancing out the need for a modern
processor with Intel Management Engine to run Qubes and
You have pointed 2 more dowsides to this approach: 1. Update virtual machines
requieres extra steps and can't be done automatically.
2.- All of this is pointless if you happen to use a compromised router. Which
could use a malicious DNS to point you to a different website than the one
you
Okay thanks for your thoughts Alberto, do you think security by isolation is
a good idea that once trisquel gets a lot more developers that it could work
on?
Like I said, I don‘t have a problem with your opinion, although it seems to
me you made up your mind pretty quickly. That is part of today‘s zeitgeist;
one has to live with the fact, that a lot of people only read the headlines
and then pretend to know everything. They fill the gaps with
I
recently installed Qubes on a laptop. I think the install couldn't
quite complete because my home network runs without dchp and I couldn't
find a way to tell it what IP it could use to get on the network.
Nonetheless, it did seem interesting enough to be worth a look. It came
with Debian and

I respect your opinion but I don‘t understand why some people here on this

What‘s your point?
