   Thanks a lot for the information! I doubt however that PC's in a public   
   library or Internet Café have plenty of RAM, to use such a set-up. Well,   
   I may have then to look for other alternatives, like a very small Linux   
   distro, which can then be hardened and used with privacy tools there.
