1 00:00:00,390 --> 00:00:08,010 Where we throw primacy into the mix with security then we have to start to look towards Linux and BSD 2 00:00:08,010 --> 00:00:09,880 type distributions. 3 00:00:09,900 --> 00:00:12,450 Are there windows or mac are pretty solid for security. 4 00:00:12,450 --> 00:00:15,020 They are weak for privacy. 5 00:00:15,090 --> 00:00:20,880 Linux and BSD type distributions are going to give you security and privacy but you're going to have 6 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:29,540 to sacrifice interoperability and usability like you won't be able to use Photoshop or Microsoft Office. 7 00:00:29,610 --> 00:00:34,350 But there are of course alternatives to use within these operating systems. 8 00:00:34,350 --> 00:00:40,020 But also I'm perhaps casting too much of a dark shadow because it's possible to use multiple operating 9 00:00:40,020 --> 00:00:43,640 systems without too much hassle using virtual machines. 10 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,220 As I've shown you can get up and running using Linux in no time in this way. 11 00:00:48,300 --> 00:00:54,840 And also with live operating systems and you can get access to other operating systems pretty easily 12 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,940 which we also cover later on in the course. 13 00:00:57,990 --> 00:01:03,480 There are three standard distributions are recommended for modest security and privacy needs. 14 00:01:03,660 --> 00:01:08,700 These are Debian open BSD and Arch Linux. 15 00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:15,390 Some of you may not be too up to speed with any of the laptop operating system other than Windows and 16 00:01:15,390 --> 00:01:17,950 possibly Apple Mac OSX. 17 00:01:18,030 --> 00:01:23,730 Briefly if you're not aware there are many many operating systems that have evolved in some way from 18 00:01:23,730 --> 00:01:32,960 the mid-1960s operating system called Unix including my recommended Debian open BSD and Arch Linux. 19 00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:39,600 And just quickly to get you up to speed you can see here the Unix Linux history tree and right at the 20 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,420 top there is Unix. 21 00:01:42,420 --> 00:01:51,180 So if we zoom in a little bit and we can see here starting in the 1960s with the Unix type operating 22 00:01:51,180 --> 00:01:56,910 systems and then these have eventually evolved into other operating systems. 23 00:01:56,940 --> 00:02:01,980 Here you can see BSD which is where open BSD came from. 24 00:02:02,020 --> 00:02:08,430 Then you have the beginning of Linux and the next is a completely free piece of software started by 25 00:02:08,430 --> 00:02:13,320 Linus and supported by thousands of programmers worldwide. 26 00:02:13,350 --> 00:02:17,930 So if you go further down and we can see more and more. 27 00:02:18,060 --> 00:02:20,120 And here we get to Debian which is another one. 28 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:27,240 I recommended an offshoot of Linux would be things like android that would be familiar with chrome OSS. 29 00:02:27,270 --> 00:02:35,470 Interestingly you can also see Apple Mac OSX here which is a derivative from BSD. 30 00:02:35,700 --> 00:02:43,680 So all of these would be Unix like operating systems and there really Unix like operating systems and 31 00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:51,000 enty and Windows is different to all these because it is based on the anti kernel which was developed 32 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,250 by Microsoft. 33 00:02:52,260 --> 00:02:58,680 When you see the desktops of these Unix like operating systems the desktop is based on the desktop environment 34 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:04,170 that has been chosen and most often you can actually change that to one that you prefer. 35 00:03:04,170 --> 00:03:14,040 Examples of these desktop environments include known Katie x FC mate Cinamon and elex D and be afraid 36 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,960 of the Unix type operating systems. 37 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,110 They are different but you can get to grips with them if you persist. 38 00:03:20,110 --> 00:03:26,330 And if you're familiar with Mac OS X there as you can see is a BSD derivative so you'll be somewhat 39 00:03:26,330 --> 00:03:29,750 familiar with the command line interface.
