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.

For extra security, you can use sha256sum to verify who signed those .sha256 files.
