Ubuntu Privacy Remix 10.04rc1

os-releases — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 21:40:58 +0000

Ubuntu Privacy Remix is a modified live CD based on Ubuntu Linux. UPR is not intended for permanent installation on a hard disk. The goal of Ubuntu Privacy Remix is to provide an isolated working environment where private data can be dealt with safely. The system installed on the computer running UPR remains untouched. It does this by removing support for network devices as well as local hard disks. Ubuntu Privacy Remix includes TrueCrypt and GnuPG for encryption and introduces "extended TrueCrypt volumes".

Changes: This release has its own GPG frontend, making it possible to use groups and deal with large keyrings (>300 keys). It has an extended backup when closing extended TrueCrypt volumes. For details, see the download page.
