Great question, David. I would say if testing could be done in Xen, then it could likely be done in Qubes. It's really difficult to mess with dom0 or how it looks, so I doubt you will have luck switching views. What guest OS will you mainly use for testing? One option may be, if you're accustomed to Virtualbox for Windows for example, setting up a Windows VM how you like it for testing and loading a guests in there. I can't comment on the performance of Virtualbox inside of a VM though. Has anyone else done this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
