Tails (The Amnesic Incognito Live System) is a Debian-based live DVD/USB with the goal of providing complete Internet anonymity for the user. The project's latest release, Tails 4.8, focuses on security updates. "Tails 4.8 is out. This release fixes many security vulnerabilities. You should upgrade as soon as possible. We disabled the Unsafe Browser by default and clarified that the Unsafe Browser can be used to de-anonymize you. An attacker could exploit a security vulnerability in another application in Tails to start an invisible Unsafe Browser and reveal your IP address, even if you are not using the Unsafe Browser. For example, an attacker could exploit a security vulnerability in Thunderbird by sending you a phishing email that could start an invisible Unsafe Browser and reveal them your IP address. Such an attack is very unlikely but could be performed by a strong attacker, such as a government or a hacking firm. This is why we recommend that you: only enable the Unsafe Browser if you need to log in to a captive portal; always upgrade to the latest version of Tails to fix known vulnerabilities as soon as possible."

Grml - new stable release 2020.06 available. This Grml release provides fresh software packages from Debian testing ('bullseye'). As usual it also incorporates current hardware support and fixes known bugs from the previous Grml release. Important changes: the default mount point for the live system was changed; tools like grml2usb, grml-paste and grml-x have been ported from Python 2 to Python 3 - we no longer support Python 2 in our tools; the live system no longer uses a custom Grml kernel - instead we switched to the 'linux-image' packages provided by Debian. New features: cloud-init support - a standard multi-distribution method for cross-platform cloud instance initialization; qemu-guest-agent support - this daemon exchanges information between the host and guest system; network information in grml-quickconfig - hostname, cloud-init, IP addresses and zeroconf/avahi information....

The Linux Mint team has published an update to the project's 19.x series, which is based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. The distribution's newest release is Linux Mint 19.3 which is available in three editions (Cinnamon, MATE, and Xfce). One of the big new features in this release is proactive System Reports which will notify the user of potential problems. "You'll notice something new in your system tray after you install Linux Mint 19.3. A little warning icon tries to catch your attention and indicates there are a few things for you to review. In the past, we worked on improving documentation (such as the installation guide) and the welcome you get when you first log in (the first steps section of the Welcome Screen for instance). In Linux Mint 19.3, we're going a step further and we're trying to detect potential issues in your computer. If you're missing a language package, a multimedia codec, if a hardware driver or a new version of Linux Mint is available, this little icon will let you know and provide solutions."
