TAILS Linux 1.8 is out (Dec 15, 2015)
For those that are not familiar, Tails is a live system that aims to preserve your privacy and anonymity. It helps you to use the Internet anonymously and circumvent censorship almost anywhere you go and on any computer but leaving no trace unless you ask it to explicitly. Tt is a complete operating system designed to be used from a DVD, USB stick, or SD card independently of the computer's original operating system. It is Free Software and based on Debian GNU/Linux.
Tails comes with several built-in applications pre-configured with security in mind: web browser, instant messaging client, email client, office suite, image and sound editor, etc.

From a purely selfish point of view, I wish they'd get it back below 1Gb in size (maybe they will once Claws Mail is jettisoned for good?) as I have an old 1Gb USB keyfob which I've used for Tails for years, until the last version but one, that is...

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Claws Mail does not take much space. That is its idea - being lightweight. Thunderbird/Icedove they are replacing it with is much larger.
