Title: Tails Apps
Post by: Heyenezz on March 16, 2012, 09:46 pm
Hello, I'm posting now using Tails. I'm having some difficulty with certain tasks, hower.

1. How do I use PGP encryption?

2. How do compress and decompress archives? Someone told me, "Tails should have come with tar.  It's a compression program.  In a terminal window type the following: tar --help" But, the terminal told me that this is an invalid response.

3. Where is the MD5 program? Someone told me I could use this to generate random passwords. I will not use a website to generate random passwords. I'll only generate passwords by using applications within Tails.

Thanks for any assistance.

you should be able to just right click the file and click compress.
