Fedora 23 is not supported by Fedora anymore, hench you don't get the important updates. For example, just last monday, a major crisis happened with Wi-Fi, leaving essentially all Wi-Fi networks across the planet vulnurable, especially those in Linux/Android, but also Windows/iOS/etc, not to mention all routors have to be updated too. This update won't come to Fedora 23, you will get the update for Fedora 25 however. This is just an example, using Fedora 23 is likely to be a big security issue. Dom0 being Fedora is less of a concern though, since it has no internet connection, and all system commnucation with Dom0 to VM's is updated by the Qubes team/Xen. Qubes still send updates to fedora-23 for the qubes toosl, but fedora-23 itself isn't being updated anymore. Essentially the Qubes command to upgrade/install the template should include all the Qubes tools, so it shouldn't be a problem to replace them in the Qubes Global Settings, as well as the individual VM's. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
