...That's where I stopped reading this.
I stopped at "secret" (yes, the occurrence in the title) :)
TBH the checksums are pretty useless for humans who download an .iso and install it... they are mainly for mirrors and similar that download files without using them
Also: If someone manages to tamper with the downloadable ISO ⊠they likely will be able to tamper with the signature files, too.
I'm fully aware of what a SHA file is, and it's entirely unimportant to me.
Admittedly, I did check the arch image I use at work.
Those must have been really helpful in 1999.
Doubt it, they were more likely using md5sum files in 1999.
