ELE - everything leaves encrypted

The idea behind this is pushing the boundaries of the myriad of “live cd” linux distributions. Open Source innovation at its best. Take this bootable cd with you. Where ever you go - boot up and enjoy the beneftis of an encrypted / anonymous internet connection.

Points of note:
* When you are on a public internet terminal (internet cafe’s) there is no way to be sure your key strokes are not being logged. You need to trust the operating system you are working is secure. You can use encryption to foil anyone listening to your network traffic but a key logger will break your security. Booting ELE will give you a massive increase in your level of confidence. Note: You are still vulnerable to a physical keylogger sitting on the computers keyboard or cable.

* Now as with everything there is caveat. You are now trusting ELE and the Tor network is secure. Think about it.

What is ELE?
ELE is a bootable Live CD Linux distribution with focus on privacy related software.
It is based on Damn Small Linux and aims to be (obviously) as small as possible. The first release was 65M, the current one 61M.
