Hi Let's build a micro template, starting with Debian, and push it as a community template. If there's take up and good feedback, we could consider it as a full Qubes template. How does that sound? I've worked up a build within qubes-builder, (still some bugs to be fixed), and can push that soon. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-devel" group.
