I've been googling a bit and come up with Whonix, Tails and Qubes.

Can anyone advise their opinion on which one would be best to run in a VM? I'm prepared to accept the security compromise of running in a VM, but I do want the ability to store passwords in the browser and save small files in the VM.

Edit: Just signed up for this account over Tor for shits and giggles. Literally my first post and it's dead immediately.

I get that Tor has spammers but I did have to do the captcha to create an account so this seems heavy handed. Seems like there's no way to legitimately post to hn over Tor.

Qubes is a Xen-based virtualization thing, it has nothing to do with tor by itself, you can think of it as a replacement to qemu or virtualbox (but not exactly). Qubes has official support for both Whonix and Tails.

It looks like whonix is what you are looking for, from wikipedia:

> Unlike Tails, Whonix is not "amnesic"; both the Gateway and the Workstation retain their past state across reboots

Cool, thanks for the info. I think I'll try out virtualbox with Whonix.

Some of those posts get autokilled by software, but moderators review them and unkill the legitimate ones. This is how I came across and unkilled yours.

Thanks a lot, dang. I was hoping a mod would see my edit.
