FaunOS: Known Mirrors

Use the links below to download a FaunOS binary distribution from a participating mirror. It is good practice to verify the integrity of the files once you've completed the download.

If you're not sure which files you need, read the installation and download instructions before using the mirrors on this page.

It is always a good idea that you verify the integrity of the downloaded files using the MD5 and PGP signatures. PGP verification provides stronger protection than MD5 against accidental corruption or tampering: it also verifies that the file came from a certain person (in this case FaunOS).

PGP Signature

The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. First download the FaunOS FaunOS-pubkey.asc as well as the *.asc signature files for the distribution. It is important that you get these files from the ultimate trusted source - the FaunOS site, rather than from a mirror. Then verify the signatures using, for example

    % pgpk -a FaunOS-pubkey.asc
    % pgpv faunos-shadow-0.5.4-stable-usb.img.asc
    

or

    % pgp -ka FaunOS-pubkey.asc
    % pgp faunos-shadow-0.5.4-stable-usb.img.asc
    

or

    % gpg --import FaunOS-pubkey.asc
    % gpg --verify faunos-shadow-0.5.4-stable-usb.img.asc
    

The faunos-shadow-* files are signed by Raymano Garibaldi A1BCD64B

MD5 Checksum

To verify the MD5 checksum on the files, you need to use a program called md5 or md5sum, which is included in many *nix distributions. For example,

    % md5sum faunos-shadow-0.5.4-stable-usb.img
    ... output should match the relevant string in faunos-shadow-0.5.4-stable-md5sums.txt
