esd, skype, tor and boot

[sebastien]

Great Gabriel ! Thanks !

TOR is an Onion router that I advise to anyone who wants a
relax/anonymous surf.
This is a kind of proxy : websites don't know your real IP. Ads are
blocked, and it is really efficient (it makes surf slower but more TOR
users will be- as servers-, faster it will go).
