Is this Tails a Linux distro? How come it is so safe? I might be finally doing the switch to GNU/Linux anyway, with Ubuntu in mind...
Edit: Yeap its built on Debian and it forces you to surf the net via Tor.
Tails is not very convenient for everyday use imo. Unless you are paranoid you are ok with any normal Linux distro or even Win 7 + antivirus and firewall + common sense.
