I recommend you listen to Chris here though. As mentioned some people are much more knowledgeable than I about security while I'm still only an early learner (and he's one of those who are much more knowledgeable). I also learned from reading his post as well. You can use my post to put forward new questions though (keep learning and dig deeper over time), but use Chris post for actual answers here regarding the security, he's way more credible. Notice too how he legit dismantles my argument "that Fedora is the slightly more secure one", when it turns out Debian appears ahead of Fedora in terms of security, and it seems like it might not be by just a little either. I stand corrected, I need to read more on this topic. Keep learning though, it's awesome you ask and try find answers to questions like these. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
