Introduction[edit]
The success of the Kicksecure platform is the sum total of several factors:
- The solid foundation at its heart - the Debian GNU/Linux distribution.
- The software provided by several other projects (like KVM,Qubes) and the tireless efforts of their many developers and contributors. [1]
- Lessons learned from:
- Expert advice provided in various Internet forums and attendance at software development events.
- Previous failures and successes in the Kicksecure development cycle.
- The failures and successes of similar privacy/security projects (like Tails).
- Inspiration drawn from other projects, leading to the implementation of new or improved security features.
- Direct contributions by the Kicksecure community.
