^ Yes, I'm well-aware, and I know Snow Leopard is vulnerable, but I'm in Snow Leopard for a reason. I'm just asking the question because I'm new to virtualization: is the vulnerability in the installation step, or in Linux Mint proper, or in VirtualBox, or what?
Now meanwhile, I know I'm straying a little off-topic, and I've posed this question over on osboxes.org, but I figure there will be more Mac-savvy people here:
– I can't seem to get a good SHA-256 checksum with the .vdi.
– I've downloaded three times:
Linux Mint 19 Tara, VirtualBox (VDI) 64bit
– I've extracted twice each with The Unarchiver 3.11.1, BetterZip 2.3.4, and Keka 1.0.4 without any error messages.
– Every time I get the same SHA-256 checksum, but it's different than osboxes.org's.
– I'm doing this in Terminal under Mac OS X 10.6.8:
– I don't recall the last time I've had file corruption downloading (the .7z *is* an awfully large file, but so is the .iso, and it checksummed perfectly on first try).
– I downloaded with Firefox 45.9.0esr.
– I'd think that if random errors were occurring, I wouldn't keep getting the same, albeit wrong, SHA-256 checksum.
So my question is, is there some preferred utility on the Mac to extract .7z archives?
Or any other ideas?... Whew, I'm having the toughest time getting even to first base with Linux!
