Hello, long time no post, as my signature says I used to be Lord Hakk but unfortunately I forgot a few login details, so now I'm Imprive. I dont expect you to know who I am, Im just saying...
uhh perhaps "secure" is not the word I am looking for.
Anyways I am looking for a distro that is like incognito, now known as T(A)ILS (https://amnesia.boum.org/about/), but one that is not an alpha version. If it has software that allows me to change my mac address thats a plus. It needs to provide tools that allow me to surf the web anonymously, and make it hard to be traced back, so I would want everything routed through tor or another similar program. Does anybody know of any distro's like this?
backtrack4 will give you stuff to do....I think it'll have what you want
Backtrack 4 it's mainly Ububtu striped away by it's regular multimedia preinstalled apps and stuffed with other hacking applications that can work both ways if you don't really know how to use them. That means you're not that incognito using backtrack.

The ifconfig command lets you change MAC addresses, and AFAIK it's included in pretty much every distro. As for anonymity, wouldn't any distro that lets you install Tor be suitable? It sounds like you've got other requirements/desires which you haven't told us about yet, given that you seem unable or unwilling to simply use your favorite distro.
Hi,
I just tried the Fedora and its painfully slow. Although I like it a lot and it did work on my P4 like a breeze.Whats the best and most secure LINUX distro that I can put on a Pentium 2 400mhz? I dont want it to be slow but again I also want it to be secure.
