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
