- Install a ready-to-use desktop system to the hard drive in less than ~10 minutes, without Internet access
- Preinstalled [software](doc/packages.md) for most office, multimedia, internet and configuration tasks ([Xfce](https://docs.xfce.org/start) desktop environment)
- Sensible [default configuration](config/includes.chroot/) for personal computers
- Good compatibility with recent hardware
- Good performance/low resource usage low-end hardware, old/recycled machines, low power consumption
- Fits on a 2GB USB drive
- Based on Debian [stable](https://wiki.debian.org/DebianStable) + [backports](https://wiki.debian.org/Backports), reliable, low maintenance
- 100% [Free and Open-Source Software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software) (with the exception of hardware drivers/firmware)
- Includes only official Debian software
## Hardware Requirements
Computer with x86_64 CPU

## Download
**[Download](https://github.com/nodiscc/dlc/releases/files/dlc-2.0.0-amd64.iso)** the latest ISO image
It is optional, but is strongly recommended to **verify the ISO image** to ensure downloaded files are valid and authentic. Download `dlc-release.key`, `SHA512SUMS.sign` and `SHA512SUMS` from the [releases page](https://github.com/nodiscc/dlc/releases), to the same directory as the `iso` file.
It is optional but recommended to verify the ISO image against cryptographic signatures, to ensure downloaded files are valid and authentic. Download `dlc-release.key`, `SHA512SUMS.sign` and `SHA512SUMS` from the [releases page](https://github.com/nodiscc/dlc/releases), to the same directory as the `iso` file.
* Import the GPG key: `gpg --import dlc-release.key`
* Verify the authenticity of the checksums file: `gpg --verify SHA512SUMS.sign`
* Verify the integrity of the ISO image: `sha512sum -c SHA512SUMS`
The key used to sign releases has the key ID `16C50725859EBE2DD1B22100BCC63E85387671B9`.

You can also run the system in a virtual machine on top of your existing system. In that case writing a bootable drive is not needed and you can simply load the `.iso` file in the virtual machine's CD drive. Free and open-source virtualization software includes [virt-manager](https://stdout.root.sx/docs/virt-manager.md) (Linux) or [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org) (Linux/MacOS/Windows).
Turn your computer off. Insert the bootable USB/DVD, and turn it back on. The computer should boot to the main menu where you are given the choice to start the Live system, or to install it permanently to your hard drive.
The boot menu will be displayed, allowing you to install the operating system or run it in Live mode.

## Maintenance
## Maintenance & security
* Apply software [upgrades](#upgrading-your-system) as soon as possible.
* Only install software from your [package manager](#installingremoving-software-packages), do not run or install software or commands for untrusted sources.
* Backup your data periodically to an external storage using the [Back In Time](https://backintime.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quick-start.html) backup utility
* Only enter your administrator password to perform necessary system administration tasks.
* Use strong (long) passwords/phrases, do not reuse passwords for different services (use the a password manager).
* Use encrypted network communication protocols (HTTPS, SSH/SFTP, OTR, GPG...), use disk encryption.
* Minimize installed/running software.
