An MD5 sum is a hash that represents a file. It is used to verify that the data has transfered 100% correct. You run the command md5sum /PATH/FILE replacing PATH with the path that the file you want to check and FILE with the filename. It will output a big long number, compare that with the md5sum provided by the file distributor.
The md5sum is a check sum to make sure everything that is supposed to be downloaded is in the .iso You can find it by using the following commands if you are using the Download folder as your target, otherwise change Downloads to where the .iso ends up. Open Terminal and copy/paste:
Code:
cd ~/Downloads
Code:
md5sum SalineOS-1.4-AMD64.iso
You should get a number like the following to compare it to. 2d30175ef8001c112cfe930e1aa298cb
You can find the md5sum along with the downloads, see attached.

Go to your other netbook that you downloaded and burnt the .iso with. . Move the ISO to the desktop. Open a terminal. Type this cd desktop Hit enter. Type this md5sum SalineOS-1.4-AMD64.iso Hit enter. Compare the resulting number with the number on The Dragon's screenshot. If they don't match take another download.
I recommend installing uget for these types of downloads since the internet ( especially in our neck of the woods) can burp and screw up the download. uget resumes without a hiccup.
