I got the MD5 sums of the redhat distribution and they match
the
files in our site. I have put the file.
Cool. :-) I just hope that everyone who downloads from the site, really does the checksumming before burning the CD(s).
What about the rest? Do you mean that I should compute the md5 sums
Before putting up the ISOs for public download, they should be MD5-checksumed so as to be sure that the binary is not corrupted and to ensure that it is not a trojan.
(many sites do not provide this information)?
I am surprised to know that many sites don't provide such MD5 sums. _All_ mirrors are supposed to have the MD5 sums of the goodies they host, especially source/binaries. Nevertheless, you can get the MD5 sums at LinuxISO: http://www.linuxiso.org/
Please let me know and I will compute it if needed; it is a very good idea.
Thanks for taking the suggestion. :-)
