Only in such a way that the file could be changed or corrupted or altered in another way with ease.
I know that everything can be changed, but using uname -a shows everything, but there is nothing in there that signifies what version of Qubes is being run.
If the file is the only way, then I can work with that.

Well that's fair enough then.
Any idea when your new Qubes-Manager is meant to be coming out to test?

Ahh, well, the things I build for my own use in Qubes aren't built using the normal GTK and all that.
I know how to program in many different languages, but what I build to be reliable are not in those languages because I'm not 100% in those areas.
I can make my way through things, but they are not my best areas.
I don't have all these skills.
