Please explain different versions
« on: July 29, 2016, 02:32:32 pm »
Why are there so many different iso images for download?
Some of them are explained here
https://opnsense.org/users/get-started/
but not all of them. Please add explanations for each image to the download page, THANKS!

Also the fleximus.org mirror does not work, it just shows the same page when I click on one of the image files, nothing will be downloaded.

Just to explain it, the first experience with opnsense for  any interested user is like this:
  • oh, maybe intersting firewall product, let's test
  • dig into why there are so many different versions
  • learn, that the team does not explain it in the most obvious place (download page) - first annoy point
  • learn that even in the getting started documentation it is not fully explained, second annoy point
  • decide to download anyway just the first version listed
  • go to fleximus mirror and experience that download does not work - third annoy point
  • close tab, stay with old product, forget about it

Much room for optimizing user experience here. Thanks for your attention!

Fleximus mirror will be suspended from the download page until it's properly synced.

Each mirror location has a README file alongside explaining the images and our release cycle:
