Hey, just wanted to say: thanks for the guide, it's great. :) One of the strengths of Qubes is that you *can* divide your usage into compartments which have different compromises (both security-wise and philosophy-wise). A full-out "yes, we can Netflix and ... well, popcorn in this case" Qube and separately have a "open source intelligence research behind VPN and/or TOR" Qube or "develop sensitive open source application" Qube on the same machine, *and* worry less about cross contamination (security, software development ethics, identities, etc.) is just a big win. Again: thanks! I am already using your guide and I appreciate all the work you and others put into it. ... > > The fact that Firefox isn't even mentioned in > > that "between the lines self-proclaimed all > > solution page guide", makes me a bit sad and > > disappointed in Qubes.

Great idea! Maybe Yuraeitha can write up a "multimedia, most of it, with firefox" guide? I have seen Yuraeitha add useful information on other threads in this forum, appears to be very engaged and generally appears to mean well. > Do you know how motivating it feels if people comment on your work like you're > doing?
