upgrading to the latest release from previous version didn't go well for me. There are instructions on how to do so and maybe I did something wrong. But I had to reinstall fresh and restore backups which went smooth. Most Qubes users are paranoids and probably wipe their drive occasionally anyways. I wouldn't consider Qubes a rolling release Its one big huge version update. Next Qubes version I think will be 4.0. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
