[Cialug] Anonymous Surfing Linux Distro

Not that I know of.  It seems that you could do this on a live distro using user and profile segmentation.  Just make a script that creates a profile populated with the addons you need, launches it with sudo, and deletes the directory when you exit.

You'd also need another script that creates the profile, updates all addons, and saves the profile back as an image.

Are there any distros specifically aimed at already being set up for browsing anonymously, using Tor, etc.? 
 
I understand that there are ways of being detected if you send the identifiable info and/or forget to use encryption, but what other techniques can you use to shield yourself? 
 
My goal here is to set one up as a virtual image that I can snapshot, do what I need to do anonymously, and then revert the snapshot. Anyone see problems with that?
