Please keep me informed of your progress.  Does anyone out there have a 
somewhat comprehensive listing of these or other implementations 
already ported to Linux?  I am intending on setting up an alternative

university accounts who desire an anonymous account somewhere else.

While they are getting better and better, I am not certain that anything 
is ready to be deemed as secure as it can be.

In that same spirit, does anyone have pointers to Linux specific security 
implementations.  I would also be interested in ported implementations of 
remailers, or other annonymity protecting services.
