It is the nature of the project that is very complex to satisfy the ambitious aim of getting a reasonable safe computer even using hardware that is not made with security in mind.

Qubes can be downloaded here https://www.qubes-os.org/downloads/ The instructions to prepare a USB key to install Qubes are here https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/installation-guide/ Best Fran > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "qubes-users" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/ > msgid/qubes-users/fccac9c6-ecb1-455d-8cda-49026f6845e2%40googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
