I just downloaded Calculate minutes ago, and I’m enthusiastic about trying it. I’m currently a Debian user, but I dislike systemd, which is getting hard to avoid. I’ve used Gentoo in the past, but it’s time-consuming to compile. I’m hoping that Calculate is just what I’m looking for.
I don’t want to sound like I’m criticizing - I very much appreciate all the fine work the developers have done. But one thing is a little odd: none of the download servers give any indication of a checksum file. Usually a Linux iso available for download will have a separate file with a name like MD5SUM, or maybe SHA256SUM, so that we can check that the download went well.
Perhaps the checksum files are already here on the calculate-linux.org site, but I’ve somehow missed them. If it’s not here already, can we include a list of md5sum output for the latest release somewhere on this forum?
Again, my humble thanks to the developers for building this unique distro. I certainly couldn’t have done all that work myself.
I looked at that file as you suggested, and I do see checksums for individual packages. However, I don’t see a checksum for the image file cldx-15.12-x86_64.iso, even though that file can be found on the same server:
Anyway, not really a problem. I will proceed to install later this evening. I have a good feeling about this distro and what you are trying to accomplish.
Thank you again for all the fine development work on Calculate.
