I wonder if anyone here has experience with any of the privacy-based live distros.  I was able to find this list: http://www.kimpl.com/anonymous-distros/.  The TAILS and Liberte projects look the most promising.  I think the ideal distro would have the latest Tor bundle and bitcoin client, in addition to TrueCrypt, GPG, etc.  This would be nice as you could boot up from just about anywhere, load your encrypted bitcoin wallet from a flash drive, connect via Tor or I2P, and conduct your business securely (assuming the hardware itself wasn't compromised).  I know there was LinuxCoin, but that project seems to have been abandoned.

I'd consider building something, but I fear too few people would use it for it to be worth the effort.

I built something based on debian-live / wheezy. I modified the Kernel like in Ubuntu Privacy Remix, so access to physical hdd is not allowed and network doesn't work (so there is no way to escape for your private keys). Everything, which is not from the official debian repositories will be built from scratch, so there are no precompiled binaries from (maybe) untrusted sources. It is planned to have a hash value of the live-image, which is encrypted with a passphrase. At boot the system asks for the passphrase to decrypt the hash and check the integrity of the live-image. But it's not ready for release, yet.
