Maxim Kammerer has announced the release of
Liberté Linux
2012.1, a Gentoo-based security live CD with the primary purpose of
enabling anyone to communicate safely and covertly in hostile
environments: "
A new release has been published.
Summary of important changes since the previous release: hardened Linux
kernel 3.2.11; fixed memory wiping in KEXEC kernel - 64-bit kernel is
used for wiping memory where possible and 32-bit kernel can wipe 2.9 GB
of RAM; better file system security - most file system is read-only,
with carefully selected exceptions; CD/SD boot media ejection now
triggers shutdown; perfect forward secrecy and repudiability in cables
communication; added open virtualization bundle (OVA) for easy virtual
machine setup; replaced Midori browser with Epiphany which uses the same
WebKit backend; partial migration to GTK+ 3 and dconf (Midori,
Audacious, Gucharmap), using light themes...." Read the rest of the
release announcement for a complete list of changes and improvements.
