Welcome to the thirteenth issue of Tor Weekly News, the weekly newsletter
that
Hi everyone,
Last week, the proposed Tor page on Stack Exchange [1] reached 100%
commitment. Committed users will soon be invited to the private beta.
I wanted to clarify a few things regarding this "private beta" (big
thanks to the Stack Exchange team for replying to my email so
quickly!):
1. Th
How long will it take until the private beta begins? It keeps saying
"soon" for a few days already.

certainly less so for a less used OS, or version of. Obviously if one is
having trouble with some exploit, that would be something to deal/worry
about, but I have never had any issues with OS X generally (and probably
Linux/BSD)
Good luck with that.
Having an OS that isn't missing years and years of security updates isn't being
paranoid or being engaged in "social control" by a vendor. It isn't the
"bleeding edge" either. It is simply being secure. If your operating system
isn't getting regular security updates, you'r
You're insecure if you drive without a seat-belt, or cross the road, or

Yes of course, but I am unaware of any drive-by exploits on any 'nix
computer, let alone one's with reasonable firewalls. :) I do not sit
about with my finger where the sun does not shine, but there is easily a
point reached where enough is enough (re. personal security).

Mick; sorry, you are right. :)
I am just seeking where I can, programatically, help in the causes of tor
AND, as it happens, a not up to date OS.

Does the tor project properly work on a Ubuntu operating system. I watched
the video below and it looks like it would work well, but I figure I
should ask here first anyway.

Great Krishna, a much more complete context for MacPorts and (the)
Darwin(s).
I am slowing working on an 'old' netbook with Linux; it could be
interesting to use it to further explore Open/PureDarwin.
