14 DAY TRIAL // Phantomix is a Knoppix based Live CD Linux distribution. Phantomix Live CD is configured to use the TOR and Privoxy software for anonymous internet communication. Using Tor can help you make anonymous your web browsing and publishing, instant messaging, IRC, SSH, and other applications for your safety and security.
After you've downloaded the ISO image, burn it on a blank CD and reboot your PC so you can boot from the CD. First you will see the Phantomix artwork and there are some boot options which you can view them if you press F2 or F3 buttons. For example, if you want to have English language just type: knoppix lang=us (please note that the = sign is not where it was supposed to be, I have found it by holding Shift+9) and hit ENTER.
The boot process is automatic, just sit back and wait for it to finish. The desktop will appear and Konqueror browser will pop-up with the home page of Phantomix. From here on, you are free to explore it and use the applications installed.
Applications included:
? KDE 3.4.1 ? Kernel 2.6.12 ? KDiff3 ? Emacs ? JuK ? Audacity ? K3b ? Kaffeine ? XMMS ? GIMP ? Firefox ? Thunderbird ? Ethereal ? Xchat ...and a lot of games like: Frozen-Bubble, GnuChess, KMahjongg, KReversi, Potato Guy.

Please be advised that known issues of this release are:
? Compared to direct internet connection, browsing is slow; ? Due to ad and junk filtering some sites may not work as expected (googlemail, ezboard); ? Sometimes pages have to be reloaded very often until they are displayed correctly.
The Phantomix developer says its next release of Phantomix Live CD will probably be based on the Kanotix Live CD and it will be dependent on the next major release of Tor.
