2017 - Devuan Jessie 1.0 - Intro & How to Download and Verify the ISO - August 5

Devuan GNU+Linux is a Linux distribution forked from Debian in 2015. The project's primary goal is to provide a variant of Debian without the complexities and dependencies of systemd, an init system and services manager originally developed by Red Hat and later adopted by most other Linux distributions. Devuan's initial beta release was made available in April 2016, together with an upgrade path from Debian 7.0 "Wheezy" and a possibility to switch to Devuan from Debian 8.0 "Jessie". The distribution adopted Xfce as its default desktop.

My Guide to Verify the ISO:

I'm going to use the 32 & 64Bit ISO.
Save to the Downloads Folder:

devuan_jessie_1.0.0_i386_desktop-live.iso
devuan_jessie_1.0.0_amd64_desktop-live.iso
SHA256SUMS
SHA256SUMS.asc

Copy-paste the Command in the Terminal:

cd Downloads

gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 0xD95DDF2BF71AAAEB

gpg --verify SHA256SUMS.asc

The CHECKSUM file should have a good signature from this Key:
