Liberté Linux

[SealLion]

There are a number of Linux OS available for downloading and running from a USB. Tails OS is one of them. There is another player around for those who also like to play with Linux OS and who do consider their privacy.




Liberté Linux is a secure, reliable, lightweight and easy to use Gentoo-based LiveUSB/SD/CD Linux distribution with the primary purpose of enabling anyone to communicate safely......

There is more of course.


Anonymity
All networking activities like browsing and chatting are automatically Torified, with I2P locations transparently available as well.....

The problem that is always evident with Tor is it's speed.

What I really like about this baby is what they have here:



I2P traffic is routed through Tor, too: you will be able to use I2P even behind the most restrictive firewalls. In addition, a special Unsafe Browser is available for the express purpose of registration in open Wi-Fi hotspots, if necessary. Liberté can be also booted in non-anonymous mode, with all other security features left intact.

For a moment I thought this was related to Anonymous' Linux distribution, (because of their logo perhaps)
Anonymous OS version 0.1 released and detailed - SlashGear (http://www.slashgear.com/anonymous-os-version-0-1-released-and-detailed-14218369/)

But it wasn't. Luckily, because you obviously shouldn't anything from them..

EDIT: looks like it was fake after all.

Also some script kiddies might send you fake SSL certificates and if you're not careful enough with the internet browser certificate warnings, your logins might be intercepted. So only use Tor for porn-related stuff.

I've just read about I2P, seems like another layer of security, perhaps it should aid with the above problem?

On a side note SealLion, what's the reason behind the sudden interest about Linux? I thought you were a MS-only guy.

I was until I decided to expand my interests beyond the scope of using MS. I've been playing around with a few Live installs of various flavors of Linux which eventually brought me to install them permanently on both my laptop and desktop.
Basically, I'm getting tired of Windows. I'm also tired of the rescource hogging that having to have various security features that OS such as Windows find necessary for safer browsing and usage. Linux doesn't necessarily require such installs.

One thing that I found as a surprise when having used this distro of Linux was that it disabled my mouse from my laptop and had to use the finger pad. I don't know why. I was thinking of some reason why and the only ones I could come up with were that it didn't recognize any drivers for Logitech mouse drivers or it was some kind of security enhancement for finger pad usage only. Strange, I thought.

Strange indeed, so did the mouse work in the end?

Speaking on 'funny things of Linux':
Gnome 3 : Disables clicking using the (touchpad/finger pad) and forces you to use the two buttons under unless you enable it from 'mouse options'.

Nope. Never did. Stays like that. Still don't know why but I think that I am still going to keep it around on my laptop for when using at coffea shops as an example. It's one of a few OS that I have on it.

I have my laptop fairly secured from against external snooping attacks the related type. This was just one other maneuver I decided for.

I do remember Tails Linux OS from a while back though I didn't try it out too much at the time. Oh, and yes. I do agree with you that the logo from Liberte Linux does very much resemble the Anonymous OS from the Anonymous group. To be honest, I don't really care for this group nor the way that they approach any situation that they disagree with. These guys disagree with just about everything and anything that doesn't suit them. If they see some guy abusing oranges, they'll go after him. They're just a strange bunch or people.

Anyways, back to topic. What I do like about how Linux approaches the communities is that they offer different distros with different flavors. Something that MS can learn from. And I don't mean by customizing Windows OS with this or that kind of customization software. I also don't mean by offering a Pro version over a Home version. It's way beyond that.

I knew that was fake from the first moment I saw it but damn it looked pretty good and I think it was one of the first distributions that used MATE at that time.

At least they have a way to enable that behavior. :P

Well, I had a look at the settings features for this distro and I can't seem to find any settings for mouse features. The other reason I can think of is that they developers of Liberte decided that since this OS is for people who are security conscious and have special security needs, most especially when being mobile with a laptop, is that they intentionally decided against mouse driver installs as part of the default setup. I'm going to have a look in the package manager later on and see if there is something there perhaps.
