Making our own linux images

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
