Yes. A lot more secure and a lot more easy. You should go a bit easy on the tutorial style posts until you have figured this out for yourself. I mean this in the best possible way: giving back to the community is what's it all about ... but at the moment you might harm more then help. To your question: Just download the .deb file right there in your broweser and then open the folder that contains the Downloads. Right click on the .deb file and "Copy to other AppVM..." and select the TemplateVM where you want to install. In that TemplateVM you will then find the .deb file in the "QubesIncoming" folder in your home directory. This is one of the very core features of Qubes together with the Clipboard: the ability to share data easy, fast and securely between VMs/Qubes. > 2) When installing new applications or replacing an application in a > template, is it then necessary to delete the VM's that is based on this > template to get the changes implemented in the AppVM's, or can they be > implemented in a smarter way ? Not at all. As soon as you shutdown the TemplateVM the changes are on disk. Then shutdown and restart the AppVM and you'll have the new version.
