As I mentioned in previous publication, I have been following its development for some time now Qubes OS a completely different one operating system from what we know. This operating system is developed with the main goal of security.
Qubes OS is one operating system which allows you to create different virtual domains to do different tasks.
So you can go from one domain to another, depending on the task you want to do, and you can install a completely different operating system.
Qubes OS is based on Fedora and a main idea summed up in the following words: "security with isolation."
Using the domains mentioned above as light Xen virtual machines attempts to combine two contradictory goals:
How to make isolation between domains as strong as possible, and how to make this isolation as simple and easy as possible.
While you could certainly use any of the virtual machine applications out there to run as many VMs as you want on your favorite Linux distribution, the result won't be the same, especially if you don't want multiple desktop environments running inside their own windows . You will be presented with a lot errorthe and problems you will have to solve.
For example, how do you share files or copy and paste them safely between VMs? How do you keep all of these VMs up to date with the latest security updates?
Σε μια παραδοσιακή διανομή Linux θα πρέπει να το κάνετε με το χέρι, σε κάθε ένα από τα VMs που έχετε εγκαταστήσει. Το Qubes παρέχει μια σειρά επιπλέον εργαλείων που διευκολύνουν τη διαχείριση μιας επιφάνειας εργασίας που είναι γεμάτη από διαφορετικές εικονικές μηχανές και τρέχουν με διαφορετικά επίπεδα εμπιστοσύνης (trusted - untrusted).
The distribution uses Xen to provide more security. Instead of each VM having its own full interface, Qubes uses the most privileged dom0 Xen VM as a host for a desktop environment (currently Qubes has KDE or XFCE, although the community offers other DEs) .
Thus, VM displays the windows of each individual application within the dom0 desktop environment.
So running Firefox on Qubes is just like you would expect in any other distribution. The main difference, however, is that Qubes allows you to give your VM the confidence level you want, from red (unreliable) to black (reliable) with different rainbow colors.
If you are interested below you will find the download link of the distribution in the latest version.
Not recommended for beginners.
