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

    How do you know that when your PC is off, that this management engine doesn't still get power? PC's haven't had actual mechanical power cut off switches for a long time now.

    Laptops don't, but I've yet to see a single desktop system without a mechanical power switch -- usually wired directly to the mains input -- on the back of the power supply...
