  = Get a copy for a Production Environment =
  
  == From the Internet ==
- Probably for most people interested about getting a copy of DebianEdu / Skolelinux the fastest way will be to download it from the Internet and copy it to a USB stick (or burn it to a CD or DVD). Images are large so if you have a slow connection, consider using a download manager. They typically enable you to pause and recommence the download at convenient times and to resume a download that was interrupted.

  === Step 1: Choose an ISO ===
- First of all, you need to know under which formats the ISOs are distributed. There are different options that vary in size and have a few differences between them, so lets clear any doubt before you start downloading anything.

  ==== What is a net install CD? ====
- It fits a regular CD so this ISO is the one that will download faster. It will fetch some packages from the CD and the rest from the Internet, so when nstalling you will need a connection.

  ==== What is a USB stick image? ====
- It takes more than 5 GB, so it will fit only on large USB memory sticks or double layer DVDs. This ISO will take longer to download as it is a full offline installation medium that can be used without requiring an Internet connection.<<BR>>

- /!\ If you plan to administrate a Debian Edu network it is strongly encouraged that you keep such a copy near you. Repositories are reliable and will almost never fail but even though, if you are responsible about maintaining a system up and running this can be a real life saver when worst situations arise.

  === Step 2: Download an ISO ===
  See the [[DebianEdu/Status/Stretch|Stretch status page]] for up-to-date information.
  
  === Step 3: Verify checksums ===
  When downloading software from the Internet it is essential to verify its checksums, specially when talking about a distribution. It is relatively common to download a corrupted image that once burned will not work or fail during install. That may occur because of undetected transmission errors when getting it from source server.<<BR>>
- At worst case, it would be possible for a malware creator to inject a free piece of software with his own hidden code and distribute through Internet to unaware individuals that could install it resulting on a potential security breach. This problem can be solved by creating and verifying checksums and fortunately '''this procedure makes it almost impossible to adulterate software, but even though technically not impossible'''.

  /!\ No matter where you download the ISO, you should always verify checksums from the official distributor. In the case of Debian Edu, ONLY trust the checksums presented at http://ftp.skolelinux.no/skolelinux-cd/ or via https://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/.
