Tor(The Onion Router) is a toolset to improve your anonymity online. My main purpose here, is to surf websites that are banned by my ISP, or websites that banned my ISP. Its concept might sound a lot complicated, but getting it to work was just easy on my Debian box.
To start, you’ll need to install these packages in unstable pool.
- tor
- privoxy
After installing these 2 packages, using this firefox extension will set your firefox ready. You need to restart your browser in order for the extension to work. Here’s a screenshot of torbutton, it should appear on right part of status bar.

Now this is amusing, and I’m touched, as a Linux user and supporter. I’ve been spending my free time blogging, mostly on Linux topics. I know it’s not going to draw a lot of attentions, but I still go on. Why? Because I love the idea, and I enjoy using this free piece of OS, consists of efforts from countless volunteers. Linux in another term, is the most user oriented OS. People who are using it, are the ones who modify/improve it.
Now this guy, Manu Cornet as he stated on his page, has a very different approach for promoting Linux. In short, he walks in a computer selling shop, boots up one of the many PCs there with Knoppix live CD, leaves some copies on the desk, and walks away.

I didn’t know Sun Java JRE(Java Runtime Environment) has been added into Debian Unstable Repository. Today, when I wanted to upgrade my JRE(previous version was installed manually), I stumbled upon a package name “sun-java5-jre” in Synaptic. Whoa, immediately I read all the description and dependencies. Yes, this package is indeed the Sun Java JRE version packaged in .deb. It is a non-free package, so make sure your apt source list have included “non-free” section.
These are the packages you need to get in order to have a working JRE on your system(unstable).
- sun-java5-bin (1.5.0-08-1)
- sun-java5-jre (1.5.0-08-1)
You will need to answer to License Agreement during the installation. Just answer OK for it.
