Avoiding lock-ins

All live CD/DVD's focused on anonymity that use tor are based on debian. The debian branch currently suffers from the systemd lock-in.

Candidates

Distro	Default installer	Init	Graphical installation process	Boots	Default package management	Security applications	Minimalist applications
voidlinux, independent distribution		runit,uedev		CD/DVD and LiveCD	xbps
devuan, debian overlay		sysvinit,vdev		CD/DVD	apt

Emergency Live USB

A minimalist Live USB for emergencies, adapted to our needs. For practice three versions: One version using tor, another with i2p, and one to be determined (for in "cut off" national internets). After that, on demand, based on the likely emergency parameters in local threat models made by gendersec people.

Candidates

Distro	Default installer	Init	Graphical installation process	Boots	Default package management	Security applications	Minimalist applications
liberté linux, gentoo based				USB	none	see Liberté linux, tails, whonix, freepto

Installing test environments

virtualbox

For installing and basic configuration see Linux virtualisation:virtualbox.

vagrant

Installing candidates

devuan in vagrant with virtualbox

http://devuan.org/

voidlinux in virtualbox

http://www.voidlinux.eu/

Applications

Running *only* what we need while avoiding lock-ins:

Basic security

See growing list of security applications

Minimalist applications

See growing list of minimalist applications

Test driven development

Hostile environment

National internet

Making gendersec images

Live USB

Live CD/DVD

Ova

For chaining

For testing and image development
