Hi, as there is RC-4 of something, it is clever to stick with qubes3.2 until there will be 4.1. Also I would like to know how the qubes manager works, in order to fix it my self (maybe, I need to edit some XML), if nobody wants to help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
