Just a small way to help people get their FOSS. What are some other projects that have torrents that would be good to seed?

Does anybody download iso's via torrents? Or how to help the actual sites that serve these? Since I trust the source more than torrents.. Especially for an image..

Verifiying the checksum of an iso takes 30 seconds... You don't need to trust anyone

Been on Linux 6 years, never done it. Extra steps

Length of time never means quality of decisions. Always best to validate. So easy to package up malware and farm folks bank accounts.

Hence my threat model hasn't included torrents.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
