For some time I’ve wanted to build a Gnu/Linux environment which was
- Entirely resident on a USB Thumbdrive
- Secure and private, like Tails
- Everything I do should persist on the Thumbdrive
- projects
- packages
- customizations
Given the available USB Thumbdrives
- 500GB for $50!
there is no reason why a Gnu/Linux environment living on such can’t be every bit as good as a normally installed Gnu/Linux environment.
Alas, Tails presents obstacles for using it this way.
This project is an attempt to overcome these obstacles!
As I overcome various obstacles to achieving these goals I intend to document them here.
Here’s my Project Roadmap.
It’s also still not clear if I’m going to be able to fully achieve my goals. An alternative would be to use a more ordinary Gnu/Linux distribution in encrypted partitions and add tor, etc.
