Axis GNU/Linux

Download

The latest release is 2021.06.08-beta. You can find more information about it on GitHub.

Currently, Axis Linux requires a little modification after installing. You have to edit /etc/pacman.conf and add it in the main package repo at the top of repo list:


[axislinux-repo]
Server = https://axislinux.github.io/$repo/$arch

Check integrity

You can verify that you have a genuine copy of Axis Linux, by checking signature and sha512sum files on Unix-like systems. To do this follow the instructions:

1. Add XXCoreRangerX's gpg key


gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys A182D760A59FDFDD

This is required to proceed to the next steps.

2. Verify integrity of the release by checking gpg key


gpg --verify axislinux-XXXX.XX.XX-x86_64.iso.sig axislinux-XXXX.XX.XX-x86_64.iso

The output should be XXCoreRangerX's public gpg key fingerprint (currently FD11A3293A6830E6D28E1408A182D760A59FDFDD).

3. Lastly, check sha512 checksum


sha512sum --check axislinux-XXXX.XX.XX-x86_64.iso.sha512sum

This command should tell whether the checksum is correct.

Light
