Yes, it is, partially. I would like to be able to go into "exposed mode" (connect to the Internet) using a Debian live DVD and keep my own work totally off line (you could even use the same machine, I remove the hard drive and then put it back when not exposed anymore), but even if the debian utilities: "clone" and "apt-offline" would be of great help, there is quite a bit of stuff which, of course, is not debian business to keep. Say browsers (the best I have found is brave), when you start up a machine on DL you are once again "virgin" no cookies, no nothing (I also run mac changer as well), but even though that kind of blank slate way of saying "hi!" to the Internet is great, you need to know that you have downloaded a certain file already for which a listing of the URLs and the path of that data in the owned, unexposed box ... For the most part, the software needed to build up all the pieces of that idea exists. There are other aspects which AFAIK need to be implemented; for example, some sites take ephemerality too seriously, instead of showing to you a certain URL to the actual data, the may change the URL or only let you have access to it if you kept a certain cookie or would let certain js crap run ... but of course you would have to remove all js from the unexposed data I am sure that as Lennon used to sing: "I am not the only one" who has thought of such thing. lbrtchx
