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.

    I found that if I put a file on Tails in my home directory (bookmarks.html), or in ~/Persistent, I cannot open that file in either the secure or insecure browser. Is this a bug or a feature?

    Also, installation of onionshare no longer works. It fails while running 'apt-get update', and the Tails website says to not do that. So it looks like an onionshare bug.
