1 00:00:00,330 --> 00:00:05,400 If you're looking for a general use operating system that has a particular focus on security and privacy 2 00:00:05,730 --> 00:00:10,620 then you can consider Debian arsh Linux and Open BSD. 3 00:00:10,620 --> 00:00:12,400 Let's start with Debian. 4 00:00:12,510 --> 00:00:20,340 Debian is a free Unix like operating system and a Linux distribution that is composed entirely of free 5 00:00:20,370 --> 00:00:27,000 and open source software most of which is under the new General Public License and packaged by a group 6 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,520 of individuals known as the Debian project. 7 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:36,420 Debian is the base operating system for many security focused operating systems showing pedigree such 8 00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:37,470 as tails. 9 00:00:37,470 --> 00:00:40,780 Carolyn Hax subgraph OS and so on. 10 00:00:40,830 --> 00:00:46,590 On the positive is simply a security and privacy focused operating system so if that's what you're looking 11 00:00:46,590 --> 00:00:48,670 for that is its focus. 12 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:55,260 Most malware and hackers do not target this platform or the Linux or BSD platforms in general so that 13 00:00:55,260 --> 00:00:56,550 is a positive. 14 00:00:56,580 --> 00:01:00,780 They are tempting reproduceable builds although not perfect. 15 00:01:00,780 --> 00:01:05,630 This is our last best hope for not getting back doors in operating systems. 16 00:01:05,670 --> 00:01:10,520 Debian is part of a small number of projects attempting reproduceable builds. 17 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:16,740 Security is a top priority at Debian and you'll see that through their web site and documentation. 18 00:01:16,740 --> 00:01:19,500 There is fast bug fixes which is great. 19 00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:21,660 They have a security or it team. 20 00:01:21,660 --> 00:01:27,490 They have public disclosure for fast book fixes and books can be tracked publicly. 21 00:01:27,570 --> 00:01:35,160 It's also free and open source on the negative like all non-Windows Wes's you may not be able to get 22 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:40,550 some software for it that is available for Windows and even on the Mac. 23 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,080 You can however use virtual machines to get access to that software. 24 00:01:44,130 --> 00:01:47,040 If it is not available natively on Debian. 25 00:01:47,050 --> 00:01:52,470 Some of that software may not work great in virtual machines such as if you wanted to do video editing 26 00:01:52,470 --> 00:01:53,700 or something like that. 27 00:01:53,700 --> 00:01:54,780 Another negative. 28 00:01:54,780 --> 00:01:58,060 It really isn't as easy to use as Windows or Mac. 29 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:03,730 If you have a problem it can take quite a while to resolve that problem via searching on the Internet. 30 00:02:03,870 --> 00:02:09,810 There is a learning curve to Debian and Linux generally but Debian is a little bit more complex than 31 00:02:09,810 --> 00:02:15,360 some of the other operating systems that we've mentioned within the Linux camp such as Mongiardo a boon 32 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,030 to Linux Mint. 33 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,720 They are a little bit easier. 34 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:24,450 Debian is a little bit more troublesome to get working because it does have that free and open source 35 00:02:24,450 --> 00:02:29,740 software approach and because of that there can be hardware compatibility issues. 36 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:35,760 All the hardware on your laptop may simply not work on it or rather some of the hardware on the laptop 37 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:36,990 may not work like your wife. 38 00:02:36,990 --> 00:02:41,220 My car may be difficult to get working or in fact impossible. 39 00:02:41,250 --> 00:02:46,200 There are more reasons to use Debian and you can see this link here if you want to read more about it. 40 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,330 This is my recommended OS for general use. 41 00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:53,410 A security privacy and anonymity is a priority for you. 42 00:02:53,430 --> 00:02:59,880 Debian is used for demonstrations of Linux on the course while the OS as I recommend for general use 43 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:05,070 with security and privacy as a focus is open BSD and Arch Linux. 44 00:03:05,070 --> 00:03:12,700 Let's start off with Arch Linux or Senex is an independently developed Linux distribution targeted at 45 00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:14,510 a competent Linux users. 46 00:03:14,580 --> 00:03:16,150 It uses Pac-Man. 47 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:23,040 It's home grown package manager to provide updates to the latest software applications with full dependency 48 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:29,970 tracking operating on a rolling release system the default install provides a solid base that enables 49 00:03:29,970 --> 00:03:32,640 users to create a custom installation. 50 00:03:32,790 --> 00:03:41,070 In addition the arch build system or a B S provides a way to easily build new packages modify the configuration 51 00:03:41,100 --> 00:03:47,310 of stock packages and share these packages with other users by the Arch Linux user repository. 52 00:03:47,310 --> 00:03:53,980 It is composed of predominantly free and open source software and supports community involvement is 53 00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:02,970 recommended for competent Linux users only pair of Bawler is a completely open source version of Arch 54 00:04:02,970 --> 00:04:07,560 Linux Manjari which I've mentioned before is based on arch.. 55 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,190 If you want a more user friendly version of arch. 56 00:04:11,460 --> 00:04:19,200 And finally for our security focus operating systems we have open BSD which is BSD and not Linux which 57 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,960 is something slightly different. 58 00:04:20,970 --> 00:04:28,820 The open BSD project produces a free multi-platform BSD based operating system Unix like operating system. 59 00:04:28,830 --> 00:04:36,690 They emphasize portability standardization correctness proactive security and integrated cryptography. 60 00:04:36,690 --> 00:04:43,650 The project also developed the widely used and popular open SSA software open BSD is recommended for 61 00:04:43,650 --> 00:04:47,910 competent BSD users so you probably already be familiar with it. 62 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,430 If you the sort of person that I would recommend to use it. 63 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:58,380 So that's my round of my recommended general use operating systems that do have a security focus and 64 00:04:58,380 --> 00:05:03,460 private focus on what I say general use I mean you can do most things on them without them being too 65 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:04,360 restrictive.
