[$] Moving toward Qubes OS 4.1
On October 11, the first release candidate for Qubes OS version 4.1 was announced. Qubes OSis a security-oriented desktop operating system that uses multiple virtualmachines (VMs or "qubes") to isolatevarious types of functionality. The idea is to compartmentalize differentapplications and operating-system subsystems to protect them from eachother and to limit access to the user's data if an application iscompromised. Version 4.1 will bring several important enhancements tohelp Qubes OS continue to live up to its motto: "A reasonably secure operatingsystem".
