Tor-ramdisk 20100115 is out.



Hi everyone

I want to announce to the list that a new rlease of tor-ramdisk is out.
Tor-ramdisk is an i686, x86_64 or MIPS uClibc-based micro Linux
distribution whose only purpose is to host a Tor server in an
environment that maximizes security and privacy. Security is enhenced by
hardening the kernel and binaries, and privacy is enhanced by forcing
logging to be off at all levels so that even the Tor operator only has
access to minimal information. Finally, since everything runs in
ephemeral memory, no information survives a reboot, except for the Tor
configuration file and the private RSA key, which may be
exported/imported by FTP.

Changelog:

Tor was updated to 0.2.1.21. The setup scripts now include the option of
setting your own DNS server when acquiring networking information by
DHCP to avoid ISPs that use DNS... blocking. These changes have been
implemented in the i686, MIPS, and the new x86_64 port. These have been
tested in the wild.
