 To get started, a few utilities are needed to expand, check, and work with an Armbian image.
-  * Armbian images are compressed with a .7z extension.  Users will need the [[https://www.7-zip.org/|7-Zip]]  utility to decompress the image.  7-Zip is installable on a Windows client.
+  * Armbian Buster images are compressed with a .7z extension.  Users will need the [[https://www.7-zip.org/|7-Zip]]  utility to decompress the image.  7-Zip is installable on a Windows client.
   * To check the decompressed image, an [[https://md5-sha-checksum-utility.en.lo4d.com/windows|MD5 – SHA Checksum utility]] is needed.  This utility is portable, meaning it's not necessary to install it, but it may require support files.  Simply run the executable.
   * [[https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/index.html|SDformatter]] is a utility for formatting SD-cards, that does a trim operation on flash media to clear remnants of old files. SDformatter is installable on a Windows client.
   * [[http://www.heise.de/ct/Redaktion/bo/downloads/h2testw_1.4.zip|h2testw_1.4]] is a flash media test program.  With a freshly formatted SD-card or USB thumbdrive, it writes files with known content and verifies the content in a read operation, detecting errors in the process.  **h2testw_1.4** downloads as a zip file.  By right clicking on the zip file, and using “Extract All”, 7-Zip will expand the zip file to a folder named **h2testw_1.4**  The executable inside this folder is a portable application. Run the executable.
-  * To burn an Armbian image to an SD-card, [[https://www.balena.io/etcher/|Etcher]] is recommended.  (It burns the image and verifies it in one process.)  Etcher is installable on a Windows client.
+  * To burn an Armbian Buster image to an SD-card, [[https://www.balena.io/etcher/|Etcher]] is recommended.  (It burns the image and verifies it in one process.)  Etcher is installable on a Windows client.
   * [[https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html|PuTTY]] is an SSH client that will allow users to connect to their SBC, from a Windows client, and get on the command line.  PuTTY is installable on a Windows client.
   * While 8GB is the minimum and will work fine, a 16GB card will provide longer life in the role of a boot drive.  Users are encouraged to get two SD-cards.  One is for the installation and the second is for backing up the OS installation, when configuration is complete.

 The chance of image corruption is highest when downloading and it's pointless to build a server with flawed software.  Even the slightest corruption of the image may ruin your installation and the effects may not be noticed until well after your server is built and in use.  Headaches can be avoided by checking the image.
