Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

This has been answered to death, but here is what I use to read/edit/flash my 6950s in linux.

- Get USB stick
- Make bootable freedos USB sitck with UNetbootin
- Download ATIFlash and put it on the USB stick
- Reboot the miner from USB
- Dump bios from GPU to USB stick
- Reboot to linux
- Install virtualbox
- Create windows VM
- Install RBE on windows VM
- Copy bios dump from USB to windows VM
- Edit bios with RBE
- Save edited bios back to the USB stick
- Reboot miner from USB
- Flash GPU with ATIFlash

You can run RBE through wine just fine. No need to go into a fullblown VM.
Cashing out or buying in? Use Coinbase
