Amnesia "Webbo Amnesia"

I love this term for a Linux distribution.

It is called Amnesia Live System.

It is a medical term.

We have two terms anterograde and posterograde Amenesia or post traumatic Amnesia and this is "webbo amnesia" that is developing and evolving.

It uses Tor-to Ram utility where the web browser is clean as a slate.

It has no cookies.
It has no search term records.
Access log deleted on shutdown.

Hassle free Browser Iceweasel (which also blocks access denied message) in situ.

If you need a fast browser, this is what you should go for.

All the other browsers have cookies which remember you and your password and on the day you are hacked you are fully naked on the world wide web.

Yes, stark naked, like "Indian bolly" after the world cup win.

If you have personality to protect not a shady one of course this is the one (distributions) for you.

Browse the web in anonymity, yes it can be done with Linux.

It has nothing on the mostly visited column.

It has web mail and tor and no logs of where you have visited.
It boots and connects immediately with the Internet with a green onion on display.

I like this onion saga too.

It has Vidalia Cobtrol Panel from which you can view the entire network connected to you with the name of site and IP address.

One name is I-dis-agree (USA), another is trusted (Austria) and lemondrop from Russia.

You can see who is eavesdropping on your computer but they do not know who you are?
You can zoom it up to his door step if your computer has good graphic card.
Similar to Google Earth but with the IP address of the offender.

If the intruder is nasty, you may type some four letter words and exit with a thank you.

This is Debian and with powerful Gnome and Iceweasel.
It has Globby Collaborative editor, open office, Inkscpae, Scribus and a scanner.

Home has bug reports and tail's documentation and nothing else.


This live CD is amazingly good and I wish they add a message that says "catch my tail if you can"-reminding me of that famous film "catch me if you can"

Well done Guys and Girls!

With this utility sends chills down the spines of power hungry politicians.

Beware, you are scrutinized by the seconds, but you cannot catch the voter who is posting this message.

Nothing is impossible in Digital Linux-Including Large File Backup

Now that I have downloaded the first Linux Gamer DVD, Iglive, an Arch based Linux Live DVD, I was wondering how to save the image.

It is above 4 GiB which cannot be transferred to my external hard disk with FAT.
FAT is limited by 4 GiB limit and fragmentations. These problems are not there with Linux partitions. Next time round I will have both FAT and NTFS partitions as storage devices.

Simple solution for this is to convert the FAT partition to NTFS partition by booting with Gparted but if I do that it will effect my GRUB file (I have many distributions in one BOX and it means I have to reinstall them) and having my images in DVDs will let me do that on a future date.

I could compressed the file with Ark with archiving utility is Linux but that is doing two thing for one job and a windows Guy / Girl won't be able to open it with Nero if I give the image file compressed to him.

I hit open a crazy idea with Supreme Super Gamer (which will take 4 to 5 days to download) being downloaded, that if it can copy 8.4 GiB on a double density DVD, it will jolly well copy the image in data format.
Certainly I did not want to lose 2 days of downloading be wasted since I have the uncanny habit of formatting the hard disk with a drop of hat of when I hit upon a new idea to investigate.
In fact I accidentally formatted 33 GiB of images in one stroke (this was a USB multimedia gadget with SATA disk) since the multimedia file was misbehaving and I wanted to try installing a Linux distribution in a separate partition.
Everything misfired and the entire partition table was out of reach and I have to redo the partition table (which took ages in good all days) and install Linux for testing.

I had no regrets since in addition to hard disk save I have over may be 200 DVDs with all the images I have downloaded so for except those above 4 GiBs.
Presto! my idea worked and in about 22 minutes I have copied 6 images into DVDs.
While I was waiting for these DVD writing, I thought I will pen this to wider web now.

While all these digital work my two computers are downloading Incognito (I will talk about soon) and Supreme Super gamer, Dabian-Edu and last 50 MiBs Incognito with my dog bringing message telling who is at the door or and all the alerting news of the front door.

Incognito is an amazing utility which all the aspiring politicians and power hungry ones should worry about.
It can boot and erase all the traces of memory in the browser and the computer of use after posting a message out of the country which some dictators like what you find in China may not like it, and the true state of affairs are known to the rest of the world.
Tor is a small utility one can carry in a floppy disk and it will send chills in the spines of some politicians!
Linux can do it and www is for all not for a few powerful and wealthy.
It makes the ground rules simple and open.
Be transparent in all public (not private) affairs.
What I gather is that this utility is used by teenagers in the West to hoodwink their parents and reach unwanted sites.
Well, teens are two steps ahead of their parents and old folks should should fast learn "tricks of the trade".
Use of this utility in bad hands can be deplorable but I will use it only when their is a dire necessity political-wise.
So long holiday is going to be over and I can sleep well now with all the utilities in hand and two games DVDs to play round for the rest of the year.
Pingus and tuck racer are my favourites now.
