I recently searched on the web to know about https for apt-get and as far as I read there's no actual need, that at least is what a lot of people defend, for the use of it for this as it's always automatically checked for integrity, is this right? Did I got it right? Also, being that so, in the case of deciding to USE the https through the configuration of a server that supports it, the only possible downside would be speed is that right?
And finally but not least, I guess that any *buntu distros depend on the same estabilished rules for this subject am I right? (that's, everything is gonna be checked for integrity) Because as far as I know they all use ubuntu servers right?
Thanks a lot, I know there are some questions integrated, but if you can clarify that all to me and to the community for people that may possibly be looking for the same kind of information I do appreciate a lot :)
