Antix 13..2
Hi,
I'am still French and newbie,ready to understand me __{{emoticon}}__
One day (end of 2016) during update I saw:
stop daemon Tor,
update Tor (may be new deb,I don't remember),
and start Tor daemon.
then the update continue normally
But I didn't make this daemon myself? and nobody has access to my PC
-first question: did people who built AntiX makes something inside the update, or was it installed from the beginning. I did found nothing about that into the forum?
-second question : Tor is running at boot time, I read that I have to use Tor Browser to browse with Tor ;as it is not installed from the iso, I have to get it from Debian wheezy repo :
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/Tor"
linktext was:"https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/Tor"
====================================
. I thing? (deb-gdebi) ;what about"vidalia" is it only inside Tails or does it comes with TBrowser?
I apologize ,I have not enough time to learn how to use well AntiX.But time after time I become easy and in English to ,I hope.
Thanks

Each time the Tor package is upgraded, stopping and restarting its service (its daemon) is the expected behavior.
The TorProject developers and/or the Debian package maintainer put the"something inside" which triggers the service stop/restart each time an upgraded version of the package is installed.

(hmm, maybe you use"www.google.fr"?)
My quick impression is that Vidalia was not specific to Tails... and that it (vidalia bundle) was discontinued back in 2013.

stop daemon Tor
update Tor
and start Tor daemonTor is not preinstalled in antiX and (so) not much discussion of it in the forum.did people who built AntiX makes something inside the update

Thanks for your answer @skidoo
I understood why the stop and start daemon append.But why did I get a daemon,I never run one ,and I don't now how to run one at this time.
So i thing that the builder of AntiX 13.2 who made it,and installed it during update.Or my machine is hacked? You know for me it seem wrong.
Also encrypt is running at boot time, (i see many lines that i stop to read them ),and I never config OS to do that at boot or at anytime , even Is't useful.

Just info
If your readout says installed. Then you installed it that version through your package manager. The update process is handled by the package manager.
Control of update process is also handled that way. You have not been hacked then. Just normal stuff.
Bull Pucky session coming. I played with Tor . The static bz2 file with all the bells and whistles in one folder. Made a launcher back then and everything.
Problem was. That was on my P3 IBM laptop. As the internet became bloated and my cpu meter in conky showed hammering readouts of 99%.
Plus slow page loading. Plus my iSP speeds are pretty poor. Hell. I wait 30 seconds for a page script to finish loading here without using Tor on a I5 laptop with 8 gig of ram.
Anyways. All those factors made me give up Tor and Just use Dillo on that P3 of mine or Seamonkey. So end of Bull Pucky session.
