Choosing Which Media to Download
The Offline Image is typically recommended as it contains most of the packages available in the distribution and does not require a network connection during the installation.
The Network Image is recommended for users who have limited bandwidth on their internet connections, as it will only download the packages they choose to install, which is likely to be significantly less than 4.7GB.

Verify Your Download Before Use
Many applications can verify the checksum of a download. To verify your download can be important as it verifies you really have got the ISO file you wanted to download and not some broken version.
For each ISO, we offer a checksum file with the corresponding SHA256 sum, and a signature file with a cryptographic signature.
To ensure integrity of the downloaded file you can use sha256sum to verify the checksum, and gpgv to verify the cryptographic signature.
It should be AD48 5664 E901 B867 051A B15F 35A2 F86E 29B7 00A4
