Question is pretty much in the title; would you trust the site not to be doing anything malicious/advert-ish/marketing-ish with its binaries?

Looking over the site, it all seems legit, but then every good con does, no? :^D

I think they're probably alright, but I'm not sure it's a valuable service for people even moderately techie. It's not hard downloading an o/s image from the originating vendor, and making your own vm, or just running it live in a real/vm session.

Yeah, not really seeing a reason to get an OS image from them. I'll stick with vendor provided images or just installing my own.
