<h3><a class="anchor" href="#LiveCD">Is there a LiveCD or other bundle that includes Tor?</a></h3>
<p>
- There isn't any official LiveCD at this point. We're still trying to find good
- solutions and trying to understand the security and anonymity implications of
- the various options. In the mean time, feel free to check out the list below
- and use your best judgement:
+ Yes. Use <a href="https://amnesia.boum.org/";>The (Amnesic) Incognito
+ Live System</a> or <a href="<page projects/torbrowser>">the Tor Browser
+ Bundle</a>.

- is Knoppix-based with an emphasis on user-friendliness. You can work

- <li><a href="http://mandalka.name/privatix/";>Privatix LiveCD/USB</a> is a
