I'm having a hell of a time getting sys-usb on there without errors. Thanks.

What would be the most secure setup for that in terms of where to assign my usb devices too? Qubes page says using an Untrusted Qube for them is the most secure, but I don't know what that is and how it differs from a Disposable VM. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
