Thanks for your support and your feedback.

The latest versions of Tails work on VirtualBox for me. What exactly
happens for you?

You'd be glad to know that we have been working for a while on a new
interface for Tails Greeter. Last month we call for comments on a new
version of our mockups. See:

My answer will be based on that. Feel free to comment on them on

This has been completely changed in our new mockups. Do you think that
things are better now?

I think that all those concerns are addressed by the new mockups. Note
that we also worked on having two different paths to go through custom
configuration: a "guided configuration" and a "advanced configuration"
screen. So hopefully, newcomers will get less confused by the "guided
configuration".

I'm sorry but I don't know what GoodCrypto is.
