> Great site Frank, any ideas for anonymous surfing (free) from a usb stick?


Incognito live CD has a USB installation script, this is very easy to
do really.

I have installed in the past Incognito on a 2GB USB thumbrive and it
was done with two mouse clicks.

The only problem you may have with Incognito is a Linux problem, it
will need to recognise your hardware. I for example, could not get to
use Incognito on the Asus 901 Netbook because I could not change the
screen resolution, something to do with the display drivers, the
developer confirmed me this by email.

Incognito uses tor for internet surfing, and Internet Messaging, it can
be used as a live CD or USB thumbdrive, and it also has truecrypt. It
is the best anonymous/privacy live CD I know of.

And Guy Macon link to Secure Notepad just remembered me something,
Steganos LockNote:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/locknote

It is a free very simple Windows only notepad with AES encryption. I
have never used Secure Notepad and I could not tell which one is better
in comparison to Locknote.
