Re: [tor-talk] obfs4proxy and ports < 1024
I have considered it, as I explored various distros, most buggy and by no means secured out-of-the-box, in my view. But I have had such a nightmare experience working to any degree of satisfaction with Linux, I am reluctant to work on anything more stripped down. Alpine Linux was another option I looked at, for example, but there is no readily available Live CD - you have to build it yourself from command up (ideally from chroot, I think, to provide the basic packages and a desktop), then find a way to make a live distro from it. I remember looking at the BSD site and downloads and pondering on what I would have to do to get a working live boot...But I have been generally disappointed by the lack of an ideal secure OS ready to go with which I am happy.
OS work has been put on the backseat for me for now :) I need a break from it.
