[tor-talk] Pirate Linux

[AK]

We want Pirate Linux to be for day to day use, so a Purely Live CD wouldn't
make sense for that. We also want it to be easy to use for beginners,
especially people who are new to Linux, so that's why we chose Ubuntu. But
we can easily make a Debian version from that. We want the installer to
choose Full Disk Encryption by default. It will also install Piratepack to
perform the customization.

On the boot menu the main options will be:
- Try Ubuntu (Live CD with Piratepack, some video introductions & tutorials
on how to prepare the hard drive for a new OS)
- Install Ubuntu (Install with Full disk encryption)
- Start Liberte (A Live Privacy Enhanced OS like Tails)
- Start Tails (Live mode)

So, you can install the main Ubuntu based OS to your hard drive. And in
times where you need extra privacy, you reboot with the disk and choose
"Start Liberte" or "Start Tails".

All this can easily fit on one DVD, and will basically be a showcase of what
our Party views as "freedom".

Of course, this is still in the building/testing phase, so the plans might
change.
