Re: [qubes-users] What happened to domain manager in 4?

[a . mcwheel]

I will support that point of view.
Could we please have a choice to stay with the manager or to use 
console/whatever?
Thank you.

Re: [qubes-users] XEN)QUBES END POINT SECYRITY

[a . mcwheel]

Hi,
If you want to scan your traffic for malicious code or for indicators of 
compromise, you may consider to install 2nd firewall VM with pfSense or 
OPNsense as a system. They allow to install Snort/Suricata in IPS mode. In 
addition, OPNsense (don't remember that in pfSense) allows to turn on ClamAV 
module and scan traffic for viruses.
Or you may install Snort/Suricata on separate VM, but it not so easy as *sense 
installation.

Re: [qubes-users] Maybe a silly question

[a . mcwheel]

Hi,
KasperskyOS is system for embbeded devices, for industrial devices. I don't see 
any advantages for home usage in Qubes  OS. Besides, it's a closed source peace 
of software. Just forget about it, unless you are engineer/developer and going 
to use it for it's primary purposes.

As for Kaspersky Security for Virtualization, it could add extra security,  but 
due to it's closed source nature it could be a weakness itself.
Also, it supports Citrix Xen Server, but it doesn't support open source Xen 
Server itself... Besides, it's not for free and pretty costly, not for home 
usage.

Re: [qubes-users] installing windows-tools inside React OS

[a . mcwheel]

Well, windows-tools utility supports only Windows 7 at the moment. It doesn't 
support even Windows 8/10
Besides, ReactOS is NOT opensource Windows (I don't think it's gonna happened, 
Microsoft would never open sources for Windows) . It is binary-compartible with 
software and drivers made for Windows Server 2003.
I'm afraid for windows-tools to support ReactOS you should send feature request 
for windows-tools developers.
Probably, it is better idea to send feature request to ResctOS developers, to 
ask them to integrate ReactOS as Qubes TemplateVM.
