TAILS clinic by Donna Metzlar
Donna will be available between 19:00 and 22:00 in the TechInc space to show and tell.
You can look over the shoulder and listen, or bring your own laptop and a USB stick, and start working with TAILS straight away.
Most of my experience is with pc's, but would be good to try it on a Mac too.
Participants should feel comfortable on their computers, but a lot of knowledge and experience is not necessary.
Info
The goal of using TAILS is to secure your own Anonymity and Privacy.
TAILS is a live operating system, ie you can start it on almost any computer from a DVD, USB stick, or SD card.
- TAILS stands for "The Amnesic Incognito Live System".
- TAILS is built upon Debian.
- TAILS is Free Software.
- TAILS sends its traffic through Tor.
- Tor stands for "The Onion Route".
- a "Live OS" is a temporary operating system, all settings are lost at shutdown. The system is not installed on the computer. It is mobile, you can use the OS on a USB stick on different computers.
