# GLIDE
**G**NU/**L**inux **I**SO **D**ownload**e**r
GLIDE is a command line tool that allows you to easily download the latest ISO images for various GNU/Linux distributions directly from the terminal. It also automatically checks the authenticity and integrity of the downloaded files to ensure that you are getting a genuine and unmodified copy of the operating system.
