Really? Coming from the sort of people with the patience for an OS like Qubes? I'd think anyone who's involved enough to have an opinion would be in favor of that -- that's kind of the idea here, isn't it? One thing I wish I could change would be the visual clutter it produces; anybody know of a means to flag these VMs as internal so I can hide the ones I'm not interested in seeing regularly? That being said, I'm definitely in agreement with you, unman. Would you recommend any particular setup for a more granular approach? My current arrangement of VMs [work in progress; suggestions welcome!] is structured like this as of now: - dom0 - fedora-24 - dispVM(s) - fedora-24-minimal ( ... > derivative templates > appVM > packages*) - fedora-24-min-net - sys-net** - General-purpose: gnome-keyring, less, man, pciutils, psmisc, sudo, vim-minimal, xterm - Template-specific: dbus-x11, dejavu-sans-fonts, NetworkManager, NetworkManager-wifi, network-manager-applet, notification-daemon, tinyproxy - fedora-24-min-frwll - sys-firewall - No additional packages; effectively a clone of the Fedora-24-minimal template. - fedora-24-min-vpn - sys-vpn - G.P.: sudo, xterm - T.S.: [TBD; trying out some different VPNs atm] - fedora-24-min-usb - sys-usb - G.P.: sudo, xterm - T.S.: qubes-input-proxy-sender - fedora-24-min-pen - pentest - G.P.: sudo, xterm - T.S.: aircrack-ng, ettercap, kismet, nmap, nmap-telcat, tcpdump, wireshark***, [remaining packages TBD] * The concomitant dependencies aren't included in these lists (n.b. packages are installed in the respective templateVM) ** Can't quite get this one to run properly yet; I presume I need to install a proprietary driver in the template to make this work for my machine(?) *** Very interested in trying out v6ak's split-wireshark" idea but haven't found the time yet.
