[qubes-users] Qubes, boot from SD card?
I see some mention of booting from SD on some board somewhere. My question being, If I purchased an intel based Chromebook with 4 GB RAM, and a 16 GB SSD. Could I boot QUBES or other Linux on it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Thanks for replying. I will keep what you say in mind in using Debian when I get into a position to try out QUBES. Apparently I made a mistake in that, I thought I read on the CentOS Forum that if I did updates, it would receive the same security updates as Red Hat. Perhaps Red Hat is not always the most secure? Or maybe it is that what they really market is support, since that is what a business requires to use Linux? To Morph this post a bit, being a lot of intrusions are now coming in with the Web Browser, which Web Browser is now the recommended one for Security? I have been using Firefox, with a lot of Addons, but I had to turn off the Java Script to buy items online. Is there a movement to create a standard about what a Web Page should never be allowed to do, to facilitate security on the internet?

[qubes-users] Perplexed, why do so many here seem to prefer Fedora instead of ?
I thought Fedora was the free publicly available version of the test bed for Red Hat Linux? That is Fedora being the version that will become Red Hat? I though CentOS and Oracle Linux were free publicly available versions of the current stable versions of Red Hat? And that basically Red Hat is from only free software sources? Excepting some folks might add non-free Firmware drivers if they chose? Seems like the stable version of Red Hat, renamed something else to make the Linux OS available for free, would be more secure. One of the big differences being that if one buys Red Hat, versus the free version, that one is paying for support, also some of the development costs. What gives? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Re: Recommended laptop?
I was also interested in a higher security laptop. I feel the guys who create the Insurgo Privacy Beast are doing a lot more than just flashing the BIOS. I am on Social Security, so I can not afford their Insurgo Privacy Beast. I suspect that I might brick a Lenovo X230 trying to put Core Boot on it. I know the guys at a local computer shop are capable, but they are not free, and I would have to take the risk of it going bad. The Librem laptops are not quite in my price range, and I notice the posts by the developer of Qubes who is somewhat not happy with some of the direction of Librem development. I am guessing the individual could tweak up some of the security issues on the Librem. And a Librem is better than not doing anything, but still prohibitively expensive for me at this time. I guess I am getting off the point. I was looking at Chrome Books to run Qubes, and notice, https://github.com/bibanon/Coreboot-ThinkPads/wiki/Chromebook-Coreboot-Installation My questions being, seems like there is some kind of thing about needing a computer build before 2012 to work properly. Is this true? Anyone work with a specific Chrome Book? One can have its RAM increase to say 16 GB, and so on? For now, I have to work with what I have. I have a mid 2009 Mac Book Pro, and will put another spinning drive in it. Install OS X, the dual book to some version of Linux. (I guess everyone here knows that is what Apple calls "Boot Camp") Yes, I did put an SSD in it and try to just install Linux. Something about it does not seem to shut down properly, and then I can not get it to boot at all. No doubt not a problem to Linux groupies here. I feel a dual boot with Boot Camp would resolve that issue. I guess that is training wheels. That may seem overly detailed, but my last question is: I know nearly any version of Linux should work in the Apple, and I may try several, just for fun. I had hoped for a solid Linux stub to run a virtual machine on top of. But which version of Linux should give me Security? I had thought of CentOS or its Oracle twin. Parrot OS looks interesting. None of those are just basic stubs. Thanks for reading this. and for replying. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
