Mod Note: Don't actually use this, it's horribly dangerous, feel free to discuss below however!

Tails is a little Linux based operating system that you can use from a USB stick, DVD or SDCard. It's perfect for a "safe*" access to your internet banking stuff or If you're not at home and have to check your mails but know the PC you use is not so reliable as our own at home :p
It is easy to use, and all is ready to work, you have no long mauals to read (If they do not want it) after start.

tipp: use a USB3 Stick with mechanical write protection switch (it need not be expensive).

My intention was to present an easy-to-use operating system that boots from a USB stick and is used under the face point that one just does not have his own computer there. This program leaves on third-party computers no data.
This was my focus easy to use and "safe" if you use it on third_party computers such as Internet cafes...
and thanks Xtal your link Liberte linux looks interesting too but I have not had the time to try it out.

Please do not misunderstand that. I find the posts on the safety of the "TOR" network really interesting and it's a thing, it must really be discussed.

But don't forget the other points and her pro and contra.
So please go one or two steps back and think about importance. Is it for normal people on the road not a good program with a good level of safety for personal communication on third party computers.
Is it not really easy to use and a very low entry level for maybe first linux experience without crashing your windows PC? All good points for me to take a look or?
