* Operating Systems
Since many of the systems on the Freedombone are web based your choice of operating system for laptops or desktop machines doesn't matter all that much, but some version of GNU/Linux or on mobile devices Android/Cyanogenmod is recommended. Microsoft Windows may be fine for playing games and other trivia but *do not use it for any serious private communications or data storage purpose*. If you are a journalist, political activist, systems administrator or other professional with a need for confidentiality then using Microsoft Windows will put yourself and your sources, colleages or other group members at heightened risk of surveillance.

Port 465 is used for SMTP and this is supposedly deprecated for secure email. However, using TLS from the start of the communications seems far more secure than starting off with insecure communications and then trying to upgrade it with a command to begin TLS, as happens with STARTTLS. There are possible attacks against STARTTLS in which the command to begin secure communications is removed or overwritten which could then result in email being transferred in plain text over the internet and be readable by third parties.
