Ich könnte, aber...

I did 
The hard thing about internet security is not setting up all that stuff on your home machine, the 20 servers in your basement and on the netbooks of the 100 followers that pray to you because you know how to h4x0r a kernel. The worst security bug on earth is that little 18 years old asian girl 200km away that wants to webcam chat with you. Ever convinced such a specimen of switching to a secure but less colorfull platform? Ever lured such a creature away from MSN?

hahahaha well said ... I had a web cam about 9 years ago ... didn't like 90% of what I saw and have not had one since.
Webcams back then were really not that good, now you could actually recognise yourself 
Ignoring internet security because it's Linux:
A big part of me still wants to boast and say: "In the 2 years I have used Linux, I have never once had a virus or worm or been hacked".
Although that claim is true, it doesn't mean I should ignore security.
I have witnessed the effects of a rootkit on a Linux machine.
You cannot ignore internet security just because they're using Linux.
Security is crucial, regardless of the OS.
I've been using most of these for a while, Ixquick I actually learned about through Tor. I2P I've heard about but never installed, should probably get to that. Is it in the repositories or am I dealing with a tarball?
It's even better than a tarball...its a java program!
I found a great way to test the security of your computer/network:
1. Join an IRC chat room with 250+ Linux gurus.
2. Call them all fags and proclaim that Bill Gates kicks Linus Torvald's ass.
3. Give them your IP address (Optional, since it's amazingly easy to get it on IRC).If your machine is still running the next day, you're good.

Brilliant! Made me lol, thanks Tunafish. Obviously connect as root too, just to show them you mean business
There are some great links here which I'm going to have fun learning about. Normally I just use Tor with the Tor-Button add on. Having recently switched from Xubuntu I was relieved to find that the installation works the same in Statler. I expect it might be covered, but I'm happy to post the steps I used if anyone is interested.

If you post the installation guide for Tor in this thread, i'll make a link to it from the first post.
Thanks,

Edit: See next post.... and i'll make the link from the first post anyway

You should make a separate thread for the Tor guide.

Thanks Tunafish, that would great

Hi. OK I've created as a new thread, as you advised. I put it in Tips and Tricks which I hope is OK: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … -with-tor/
It's the first guide type thing I've written so I hope it's up to the mighty #! standard

Oh god, that means it's gonna be heavy like Frostwire >.< It seems complicated too, someone would make a walk-thru for it. Tor is simple enough.
