Are any of you all familiar with this to the extent that you would be able to answer specific questions regarding it?

Why wouldn't you use it?

Also, for the protections it provides does the user need to use it from a computer that has never been compromised

Also, what's a distro?

Have any of it's security/privacy protection claims come into question recently? If so, what?
It's "protections" are all open source/popular programs (tor, pgp, OTR, etc) that you could use under your normal OS. These programs haven't particularly come under fire but they do have certain limitations.

Tails is a live distribution (distro - Linux distribution based off Debian). It's main selling point is that it never caches/saves anything to your physical machine making data recovery next to impossible (what they call amnesic) along with bundling relevant personal security tools in a neat package that can be ran on virtually any machine.
