๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Redcore Linux Installation

Introduction: Redcore Linux is a Linux distribution available in ISO image format. This guide will assist you in downloading the ISO image, creating a bootable media, and installing Redcore Linux on your computer. ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ๐Ÿš€

Installation Steps ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

Downloading the ISO Image

Visit the official Redcore Linux website to access the download section. Select and download the ISO image that matches your system architecture. Perform an md5sum or sha256sum signature verification to ensure the integrity of the downloaded file. ๐Ÿ”

Checking Checksums ๐Ÿงพ

Downloading Checksums

On the download page, look for the checksum files (SHA-256 and MD5) associated with the ISO image. Download the checksum files, which may have extensions like ".sha256" and ".md5".

Checking Checksums

Once you have downloaded your ISO and its sha256sum, open a terminal and switch to root mode, then navigate to your downloads folder.

user@hostname ~ $ su
root ~ $ cd /home/user/Downloads/

For SHA-256 verification:

sha256sum -c redcore-linux-xxxx.iso.sha256

For MD5 verification:

md5sum -c redcore-linux-xxxx.iso.md5

Practical Note: You can type the first three letters of your sha256sum or md5 file name and then use the tab key to autocomplete the file name. ๐Ÿš€

Verification Result
 root Redcore.Linux.Hardened.2301.Sirius.KDE.amd64.iso: OK
 root Redcore.Linux.Hardened.2301.Sirius.KDE.amd64.iso: OK

If both checksums (SHA-256 and MD5) match, the ISO image is safe for installation. โœ…

Checking Signature Files ๐Ÿ–‹๏ธ

Downloading Signature Files
 * Look for the .sig' signature files associated with the ISO image on the download page.
Checking Signature Files
gpg --verify redcore-linux-xxxx.iso.sig redcore-linux-xxxx.iso
Verification Result
 * If the message "Good signature" appears, the ISO image is authentic and has not been tampered with. ๐Ÿ”’
