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 course I also
wish that there was no need for it and we could all just get along.
Nickman, please don't underestimate yourself. It's surprising how easy
GNU/Linux is too earn and some fine tuning that seems way, way over your head
might turn out to be resolved by some kind fellow user taking a few minutes
to tell you a few lines of text to type into a terminal window or to open a
text editor and change a few words in a configuration file.
Your smart. You'll figure it out and we're here to help you.
