Instructions were available to compile the kernel on the Freedom Web site, so I could have gone that route, but I wanted to get back to SuSE anyway, so one half-day later, Freedom was nicely installed on my SuSE platform. The interface for both flavors of Freedom is called the Identity Palette, and it's where you configure the settings for your personal level of security. Most of the initial settings are created the first time you run Freedom. Once I established that I was installing the enhanced flavor, I was given a chance to enter a passphrase that would lock my computer down when necessary. After entering this, and my purchased activation code, I could create my first nym.
Free users can have one nym, while users of the enhanced version can have up to five.
One nifty feature during the setup was the creation of a cryptography key based on how you move your mouse or click keys on your keyboard, thus assuring a very random key. Freedom runs in the background every time you start your browser. You have to turn on the ad management, but once enabled, I found they worked flawlessly. I suspect some loopholes in the ad management net will pop up from time to time, since the ads must come from a known ad server to be blocked. If you do run across a new ad server, then you can quickly add it to Freedom's management list.
