So that my layout was not clear. I think it's good to talk about circuit and three nodes. But not to talk about TCP, three way handshakes, and Optimistic Data. >>> The 'already existing' "Can I hide the fact that I'm using Tails" >>> and the future 'explain why Tails ships Tor' (issue #6018) doesn't >>> have (IMHO) their place in the 'about' part of the doc so maybe we >>> can put it in the about and once we have the three docs done, >>> create another part for them. >> >> Hmm...
