===ISO===
Procedure to download an ISO: Select the [http://mirror.contribs.org/mirrors closest mirror], the version of SME Server you want, then the iso directory and finally the i386 or the x86_64 directory. Note that in each repo, there are two ISO images. One is named according to the released version (e.g. smeserver-8.1-i386.iso), the other does not provide version information (e.g. smeserver-i386.iso). The non version ISO is the actual file and facilitates rsync updates for the mirrors. The versioned ISO is actually a symlink to the non-versioned ISO so people know what version they are downloading. Both will download the same binary data to your computer.

{{Note box|Due to a large growth of certain packages, you can't use a CD-ROM to burn the smeserver iso. You have to take now a DVD-ROM or use an '''[[Install_From_USB| Usb Key]]'''}}
{{Note box|Due to a large growth of certain packages, it is strongly recommended that both architectures (32 bit and 64 bit) be burned to DVD. You can burn the smeserver 64 bit ISO to a CD-ROM provided the CD creation software is capable of writing more than the official disk capacity. Otherwise, you now have to use a DVD-ROM or use a '''[[Install_From_USB| USB Key]]'''.}}
