Hi all.

I have read here about Kamarada Project, and I wonder what it's about?

From its own website (https://kamarada.github.io/en/), the About box, at the right:

The Linux Kamarada Project is a new project that aims to spread and promote Linux as a robust, secure, versatile and easy to use operating system, suitable for everyday usage be at home, at work or on the server. The project focuses mainly on distribution and documentation.

What are the goals to download a ISO image from a non official site?

The ISO image built by me can be used to build either a LiveDVD or a LiveUSB and try the openSUSE Linux without the need of actually installing it. You can also use it with VirtualBox, QEMU or any other virtualization software you prefer. Live media can also be used to install the system to a hard drive, although some people argue it's better to install using a proper installation or netinstall DVD, because what the installer of live media does is basically copy the live image to the hard drive and adjust some settings. I do not want to reopen that discussion here. As the openSUSE Project does not build official Live media since Leap 42.1 (there were official ones for openSUSE 13.2), I decided to help the project doing Live media myself. My live media is as close as possible to a clean install of openSUSE Leap with the KDE desktop, I changed only a few settings. Actually, I'm not the only one to do something like that. Other people also build live media, be for general use, be for specific purposes, here you can find some: https://en.opensuse.org/Derivatives#Other_community_live_CDs And here you can find many others: https://susestudio.com/browse For instance, the GeckoLinux project also is concerned about the lack of an official installable live media for openSUSE Leap: https://geckolinux.github.io/ If you are afraid of using a non official ISO, wondering if it could damage your computer, or stole your data, or anything else, please note that Linux Kamarada's live image source is available at GitHub: https://github.com/kamarada/kiwi-config-Kamarada/tree/42.2 You can inspect it and build it yourself, if you prefer. That is an advantage of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software). Of course, I'm not able to provide the same level of support provided by the bigger openSUSE Project, or its commercial brother, SUSE Linux Enterprise. But I'm here to help as I can. In case you find any bug using it, you can report here: https://github.com/kamarada/kiwi-config-Kamarada/issues

What offers that project?

That is a personal project of mine. Besides building live media, I write about Linux. It's a pitty that I don't have so much time to write in English, but that website has a few more posts in Portuguese: https://kamarada.github.io/pt/

I prefer to download a openSUSE official ISO from a official site

That's all FOSS is about: freedom of choice :)

where I can check the checksum.

Well observed, I need to document that better. I always provide an SHA256 checksum file together with the ISO file. You can download the checksum of the latest version here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/kamarada/files/distribution/leap/42.2-RC1/o... After downloading both the .iso and the .sha256 files to the same folder, you can verify your downloaded succeeded using the following command: $ sha256sum -c openSUSE-Leap-42.2-RC1-KDE-Live.x86_64-20161018.iso.sha256 If you browse the project files at SourceForge, you can see that there are other checksums available, SHA1 and MD5, in case you prefer them, clicking on the View details icon close to the ISO link. Those were calculated by SourceForge. Thank you for your interest on my project. I hope I could clarify your doubts. If not, I'm here to answer any other questions.
