TemplateVMs
===========
Every TemplateBasedVM in Qubes is, as the name implied, based on some
TemplateVM. The TemplateVM is where all the software available to
TemplateBasedVMs is installed. The default template is based on Fedora,
but there are additional templates based on other Linux distributions. There
are also templates available with or without certain software preinstalled. The
concept of TemplateVMs is initially described
[here](/getting-started/#appvms-qubes-and-templatevms). The technical
details of this implementation are described in the developer documentation
[here](/doc/template-implementation/).

Some templates are available in ready-to-use binary form, but some of them are
available only as source code, which can be built using
[Qubes Builder](/doc/qubes-builder/). In particular, some template "flavors"
are available in source code form only. Take a look at the [Qubes Builder
documentation](/doc/qubes-builder/) for instructions on how to compile them.

these templates may be somewhat less stable, since ITL does not test them.
