If you’re on the hunt for Linux ISO Torrents you might want to check out the long list of recently released distro torrents over at LinuxISOtorrent.com. They’ve got frequently updated torrents from A (Arch) to Z (Zen). The site only does one thing, but does it well – helps you get the latest Linux distros downloaded via BitTorrent, quickly.
wish this could somehow be integrated with distrowatch
i like it, this sure could come in handy…
http://tlm-project.org is like this too..
It doesn’t seem to list any torrents from http://linuxtracker.org/
this is just a static web page with links to offsite torrent files, leeching off others hard work like the linux mirror project. this guy is just cashing in on the ad banners. the domain was just regged 3 days ago, and besides the index file, theres not really anything on that site.
“Find Linus Torvalds Quickly”
/me needs to stop reading the git mailing list so much
umm.. I think it’s a nicely organized list of downloads that will help some people find torrents.
Credit is given to sites that host some of torrents they list like, TLMP & nat.dyndns.org. Also, ‘cashing in on the ad banners’? You mean google ads? Come on… that’s not cashing in. It’s probably just their hit counter.
I think the site’s alright.
tooooo funny
This webpage will make my life just that little bit easier, because you often have to navigate through many pages on the distro website just to get to the torrent
Ruby! To the bitmobile, we need to find Linus Torvalds quickly!
Recipe for success, or disaster, depending on who’s looking:
1) Take a popular distribution’s linux ISOs
2) Modify them to plant back door root shell on computer
3) Create Torrent file
4) Distribute
5) Wait
6) OS, once installed, phone’s home (IRC channel, usually)
7) ZOMBIE!
It’s a recipe for success for the illegal spammers of the world, and a recipe for disaster for the poor unsuspecting admin who installed the OS on 90 computers. It could also be used for black hats who want a few “jumping off points” to hide their IPs.
Only an idiot would install torrented isos w/o running an md5sum on them first.
LinuxISOTorrents.com and it lists BSD ISOs… interesting.
Actually, you can check the authenticity of any RPM with a simple command.
Signed RPM’s come with an encrypted and signed checksum that is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to break. (Well beyond any average hacker group).
Recently, I downloaded the Mandriva 2005LE DVD and it only took a few minutes to check all the packages.
These sites are going to be very helpful in the future to spread the FOSS cause.
Interesting information, and the news post even mentioned my favorite distro, Arch Linux
