Ubuntu Privacy Remix is a live CD, based on Ubuntu 8.04. It is purposely built to create a secure working environment for private data. In order to achieve that, several measures are taken to distinguish the Ubuntu Privacy Remix from any other distributions.
Let's see what kind of implementation has it gone through to make it stands out above the rest in term security. First and foremost, the operating system will only boot from CD which means that its data cannot be altered by malware or other forms of malicious software in any way wahatsoever. In addition to that it ignores local hard drives completely. So there is no data can be written or read to those storage devices.
A modified system kernel ensures that no network hardware can be activated which means that there is no possibility for connections to the Internet, local area network or other types of external connections. The only way to work with data is by using extended True-Crypt volumes which can be used to save system configurations and user data. (read working with extended True-Crypt volumes for additional information)
