Tails Linux 2.5 is out (Aug 2, 2016).

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.

It 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

    Your power supply will have a real power switch that really, truly, cuts power from the machine. No software could ever bypass that.

    What's to say a low power processor can't work for a couple of hours on a capacitor charge, or for longer on the clock battery?
