Title: What's your favorite portable OS? (looking to make a full Tor usb stick)
Post by: CryptoTree on June 12, 2013, 03:35 am
So I've decided to get more serious about my security and here's my plan. Get a fast USB, get a portable OS on it, and install the bitcoin client and Tor on it.

Any other additional suggestions? Are there extra measures you'd suggest I take?

And what are your favorite portable OS? I'm leaning towards Ubuntu because I have the most experience with it, and it seems full featured and user friendly. I've also used a little bit of Mint, which is derived from it. Does Ubuntu on USB have persistence?

Is there a reason to use a third party bitcoin client? What are their advantages?
