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

    It's always a good time to talk about a piece of software that is under sustained attack by governments.

    After the Appelbaum ousting, can the Tor Project be trusted? Or does Tor need to adopt a new core system [soylentnews.org] to mitigate today's attacks?

    He's a probable rapist, not a probable mole.

      People with skeletons in their closet are easy to blackmail (assuming the blackmailer knows how to get the skeletons out of the closet). Of course, now that this particular skeleton is seeing the light of the day, it may actually be more difficult to blackmail Appelbaum.
