Yeah you get all the same stuff only in a nice ncurses graphical menu.
Honestly I don't really see a reason to compile a kernel but not compile anything else unless for instance you want a bleeding edge feature or you want to disable some lame shit like IPv6. I hope some day qubes will have an easy-compile system like gentoo so one can compile the base distro and all updates from source when downloaded for maximum security. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
