Comment (by tom):

 Replying to [comment:5 cypherpunks]:
 > I actually really like the current Tor Browser setup on Whonix, where it
 asks to install and gives you a choice of stable, alpha, or alpha-
 hardened... Really it's not much more mouse clicks than starting a built
 in Tor Browser that needs to update (which would probably happen a lot
 anyway if people are using not quite up to date workstation images).

 Do you also get a choice of language?  Whonix appears to be English
 only...? Or maybe there's an option upon install/config.

 The choice of bundle seems.... nice. UX-wise it's another click for a user
 which is bad, so I'd probably choose to relegate it to a 'Manual Setup'
 type choice the user can make.  Downloading the bundle is also bad UX - I
 now have to wait even longer to start doing the thing I wanted to do?

 Is bundling all three an option? =P
