It is important to verify your ISO that you just downloaded for integrity and authenticity, especially if a Download Mirror was to be hacked, replacing the ISO with a Modded one that could then potentially compromise the machine, so here's how:
Requirements:
  • Note of the Sha256Sum and MD5Sum above
  • The feren OS ISO
1. Open a Terminal
2. Type in 'md5sum ' (without the quotes), and then drag the ISO from Files, into the Terminal Window
3. Press ENTER on your Keyboard, and wait, this can take a long while to do.
4. Once you've done that, you'll be given a long set of what looks like gibberish, copy it
5. Now compare the MD5Sum above, and the gibberish you got out of the command, are they the same? If they are not, the ISO may have been compromised, or downloaded incorrectly, so try again, and if the result is the same, let me know ASAP.

(The next steps are for if the MD5Sum matches the one above, to make sure that the ISO is legitimate)
​
6. Now type in 'sha256sum ' (without the quotes), and then drag the ISO from Files, into the Terminal Window
7. Press ENTER on your Keyboard, and wait, this can take a long while to do.
8. Once you've done that, you'll be given a long set of what looks like gibberish, copy it
9. Now compare the Sha256Sum above, and the gibberish you got out of that command, are they the same? If so, and the MD5Sums also match, you may safely proceed to use the ISO normally.
