In light of the recent NSA revelations, I'd want to use Linux, not Mac, for an ephemeral offline OS.

Of course, Schneider uses Windows, so to each his own.



And I definitely agree with you on that.

Just sayin'...


Offline means nothing in a world where NSA slides reference jumping airgaps with hardware backdoors.


How exactly will their hardware backdoor transmit its secrets back to the NSA? By sneaking out your apartment backdoor?


If you'd read any of the background on it rather than down voting me, you'd know!
