Tails 2.5, ships with Tor Browser 6.0.3, and the Icedove e-mail client (version 45.1)
The Amnesic Incognito Live System (Tails) is a Debian-based live CD/USB with the goal of providing complete Internet anonymity for the user. The product ships with several Internet applications, including web browser, IRC client, mail client and instant messenger, all pre-configured with security in mind and with all traffic anonymised. To achieve this, Incognito uses the Tor network to make Internet traffic very hard to trace.Distributed as a 32-bit Live CD
Dubbed “The Amnesic Incognito Live System,” Tails is an open source Linux distribution delivered as a single Live CD ISO image that supports only 32-bit instruction set architectures. It can be deployed to a SD card, USB thumb drive, or CD/DVD discs.
