You wont need to *make* a cup of coffee while opening a new qube, but perhaps *take a sip* . A while back I posted comparison times between SSD and HDD, RAM - you'll see that the HDD is slower but works Incidentally, working off USB is (relatively) fine. I have a few sticks including a live Qubes that runs in RAM and they all perform fine. For your use case dont exclude that. unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Hi qubes does work without ssd (my first installs did not have one). But speed, especially booting-times (xen & vm's) are 3-4 times longer.

[qubes-users] Hardware Report & "fast SSD" Question
Hi - I didn't see my laptop in the list so looked everything up. It seems the Lenovo Ideapad 131 151KB supports everything but SSD. I assume I would have to replace my internal hard drive with the SSD since an external SSD would, I assume, get bottlenecked by any USB connection to the motherboard. I need Qubes for only a few select simple tasks that require few resources, so my question is - could I get by under these conditions or is SSD considered absolutely necessary?

[qubes-users] Hardware report
Hi all, I've attached a hardware report for an Asus G750JW. I can say that Qubes appears to run just fine overall, but with a few limitations. The most important is the wifi -- the Broadcom unit installed isn't supported, so no wifi out of the box. Somewhat annoying, but workable, is the monitor - the display brightness doesn't work, so it's stuck at 100%. This is a known issue with the kernel, and may be fixed in future releases. Could be worse, but still annoying. Also, the keyboard functions don't work out of the box. Things like the keyboard backlight brightness, wireless on/off, enable/disable touchpad, all don't work. However, the volume buttons do work, along with the monitor-off button. I didn't really try any of the other functions or the webcam/mic.
