Have you ever wondered why a given binary or package installed on your system does not work according to your expectations, meaning it does not function correctly as it is supposed to, or perhaps it cannot even start at all?

While downloading packages, you may face challenges such as unsteady network connections or unexpected power blackouts. This can result in the installation of a corrupted package.

Considering this an important factor in maintaining uncorrupted packages on your system, it is therefore a vital step to verify the files on the file system against the information stored in the package.

In this article, we will explain how to verify the MD5 checksums of installed packages on Debian-based distributions such as Ubuntu and Mint.

In this tutorial, we will explain everything about the hosts file in Linux. The purpose of the host file is to map a domain name to its IP address. In this file, we can configure which websites can access the system, how specific hostnames can be resolved, which websites we want to block, etc. In the following paragraphs, we will describe a host file, how to find the host file location in Linux, how it is used, and how to edit it in any Linux operating system.

Editing a host’s files requires root privileges on the server or a user with sudo privileges. This is important because, at the end of the tutorial, we will explain how to edit the host’s file in Linux with real examples. Let’s get started!
