> Huge difference. Whonix consists of two VMs, one where you actually work and another which acts as a "router" sending all of your traffic out over Tor.

Honestly, it seems like it'd be safer just to run two different machines. IIRC, I saw some instructions a long time back for turning a small travel router into a OpenWrt-based Tor router.

That can be much better, but you should take care to not get deanonymized based on your hardware serial numbers. Less of a concern when working with VMs.

Correct. Whonix could be cloaked via a 0day in QEMU.
