Linux version of TorBrowser just works simple like Windows too. But "advanced" Linux users and distros developers needs a separate packages for flexibility: (see info about transparency torification for any traffic: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TransparentProxy https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/BlockNonTorTrafficDebian) and some sort of security (using system provided tor-daemon starting from restricted users, SeLinux integration). We know that developers works in the direction of better integrating Tor for Linux not only for "point-and-click" users: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/3994 Users comfortable with Linux-packaging system need a way to getting separate TorBrowser as well, with separated depended/recommended packages for neccecary plug-ins. _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
