Hey folks,
Finally got around to a longstanding todo of checking out the current
state of Qubes OS, and I'm quite pleased so far. I've installed it on
the new XPS 13 and it works nicely.
Wireless is dodgy here for reasons unrelated to Qubes so I added a USB
ethernet dongle without issue using the instructions in "Assigning
Devices to VMs".
I've also setup a Windows 7 VM without issue.
Haven't gotten VT-d working; Dell's claiming the chipset doesn't
support it, but http://ark.intel.com/products/64336/ says otherwise.
We'll see how that goes.
HCL report attached.
Cheers,
Brian
Hi Brian,
I just inherited a DELL XPS 13 9333 and I'm a newbie to the Qubes project but I
would love to try it out on this machine. According to your experience, are
there any limitations of the machine that make it not a good candidate to
install the latest version of Qubes?
i.e. "works nicely" seems positive but I don't understand what I would be
missing without VT-d support (as you mentioned above).
Kind regards,
Simon
Hi Simon,
Without VT-d the computer is vulnerable to DMA attacks via vulnerable
interfaces such as network and USB. A lot of Qubes users consider this
protection to be important.
