Tails 3.0 Anonymous Live OS to Be Based on Debian 9 “Stretch”, Require 64-bit PC

Yes, we’re talking about Tails 3.0, which is now in development and appears to be the next major update of the anonymous live OS that ex-CIA employee Edward Snowden used to protect his identity online. Tails is a Debian-based GNU/Linux distribution built around the popular Tor anonymity network and Tor Browser anonymous browser. While the current version of Tails is based on the Debian GNU/Linux 8 “Jessie” operating system, it appears that the Tails 3.0 major update will be based off Debian GNU/Linux 9 “Stretch,” which is expected to arrive sometime in spring 2017. Also, it looks like Tails 3.0 will be the first release to work only on 64-bit computers.
