Hey, Is anyone interested in putting together a Fedora spin that comes with Tor + Privoxy fully preconfigured and turned on for all the internet apps that can use it in a default Fedora spin?

So, Tor and Privoxy work together to annonymise your internet usage by forwarding your internet communications through a random series of peers, also encrypting it along the way. This prevents certain forms of traffic analysis from being able to determine what websites you are visiting, as well prevents website from being able to record your originating IP address etc. It is also a superb way for those suffering from censorship to get around this and view the content of blocked pages. Check out http://www.torproject.org/ for better details. I wouldn't recommend they be installed and enabled by default on any system as the use of multiple proxies seriously slows down network access. It requires a little bit of configuration as it is currently packaged in Fedora, requiring you to edit a text file for privoxy's configuration and also to configure Firefox and your other internet facing applications to use the proxy. Firefox can be done automatically with the Tor Button extension, which I would suggest we install and use by default in any spin of this sort. Other applications will require their settings changed. We could extend this spin to include other tools, similar to what the Polippix disc did in Denmark. Hope that answers your questions, but let me know if not and I'll try and do a better job :p
