APT verifies the repository signature and package hashes. Keep the selected distribution suite and its scoped Signed-By key.

Connect and work

After installation, connect from the normal terminal on that computer:

fb connect
fb status
fb console

One central installation can connect enrolled Linux nodes. Nodes use the central connection. Enter passwords and connection keys only in the normal local prompts.
