There is no prebuilt template available. Joanna said that ITL are
planning to build the templates themselves, which is great news, so I
think the best course of action may be to wait until they are
available.
If you want to try this now, you can use the old template build script
at
http://dsg.is/qubes/ - but you'll need to change the template at
some point, since this script is missing some customisations.
As for caveats, there's probably a lot of them, since this has gotten
only light testing. Using TemplateVMs and AppVMs works, and I haven't
had any stability problems. NetVM, ProxyVM and DispVM is untested and
probably won't work at this stage.
There is a problem with updating qubes-gui-agent as the agent gets
restarted during upgrade, which means all displayed applications
disappear until reboot - which is bad if you were performing the
upgrade through the GUI. For now I recommend doing updates to
qubes-gui-agent through either the Xen console or qvm-run -p.
In general, it probably doesn't make much sense to try this at this
stage unless you are reasonably comfortable with the command line (in
case something breaks), and you should definately have up-to-date
backups of any data you store in the VMs (but then, you should have
this anyway, for all your data ;)
