VM box seems to use the real machine RAM, not virtual RAM. But that
should be verified, I did not even think of that.

I will quietly step out of the debate, as I obviously don't think far
enough ahead to make security-related decisions. But I will follow the
thread closely, because there sure is a lot that I can learn here too.

@Nik: if you don't mind me asking, what bodies are you worried about
discovering your browsing habits? Government, employer, family? The
question is possibly relevant to the discussion because it may affect
the technologies available to them- I doubt that your wife will freeze
and remove your RAM to reinstall in a hot machine, but I would not put
that beyond the government or even certain employers. Might 'they'
come while you are sitting at the machine, and you might need a
dead-man's switch? Or is the threat such that you can simply clear the
data after each use? Feel free to answer off-list. Thanks.
