+Chapter 1.1: Retrieving the image
+=================================
+
+Before you install Lubuntu, you need to retrieve the correct image. Lubuntu offers two different kinds of images,
+Alternate and Desktop images. Lubuntu also provides support for many different CPU architectures. Lubuntu releases a
+new version every six months (supported for nine months), with every two years having a long term support release
+(supported for three years).
+
+Choosing between Alternate and Desktop images
+---------------------------------------------
+Alternate images are mainly intended for older, lower spec hardware and uses a non-graphical installer. The Desktop
+version offers a live session to try out Lubuntu and make sure all of your hardware works before you install it on
+your computer. The installer on the desktop is a graphical installer where you can use a mouse and keyboard and it is
+more user friendly, but this takes more resources than what is usually required to run Lubuntu itself, due to the
+fact that the desktop image runs from your RAM while Lubuntu normally runs from your hard drive. If your computer has
+less than 512 MB of RAM it is recommended to use the alternate installer as it will perform better with your system.
+The alternate installer does not provide a live session so therefore it uses less RAM.
+
+Lubuntu offers images for three different architectures:
+ - amd64 (commonly referred to as 64-bit)
+ - i386 (commonly referred to as 32-bit)
+ - PowerPC
+
+Architectures
+-------------
+
+amd64
+~~~~~
+The amd64 image will work with most modern processors. The best way to determine if your computer has an amd64 or
+i386 processor is to boot the image. It's the only way that you will be able to know for sure what architecture your
+computer is. amd64 computers are backwards compatible with i386 images. You may want to use an i386 image instead if
+you have an amd64 processor with very low amounts of RAM.
+
+
+i386
+~~~~
+This is the original 32-bit architecture that will work best on computers with very low amounts of RAM.
+
+
+PowerPC
+~~~~~~~
+PowerPC is for older Macintosh hardware from before 2006 and IBM OpenPower systems. Lubuntu 16.04 LTS is the only
+remaining release that ships with a PowerPC image, and binaries are no longer built for it in the newer releases.
+
+
+Ways to download the image
+---------------------------
+Now that the decision of which image type and architecture is done, you will need to download the image.
+
+There are several ways to download the Lubuntu image:
+ - HTTP download (from your web browser or terminal).
+ - BitTorrent (from a BitTorrent client such as Transmission, recommended for Windows and macOS users).
+ - zsync (from the terminal, recommended for Linux users).
+
+You can also download the image via Jigdo but we will not cover that in this manual.
+
+
+Downloading the image via HTTP
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+*We don't recommend using this method as it's often slower and less efficient than the other methods.*
+
+To download the image via HTTP, you can either navigate to the `Ubuntu cdimage server `_ and select the ISO file you would
+like to download, or use the direct links below.
+
+Direct links:
+ - amd64 (`desktop `_, `alternate `_)
+ - i386 (`desktop `_, `alternate `_)
+
+After you download the image, you **must** verify it. There is `a helpful page on the Ubuntu Community Help wiki `_ that
+can guide you in the right direction.
+
+
+Downloading the image via BitTorrent
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Instead of downloading the image from one server, you can "torrent" the image, or download it from multiple sources
+instead of just one. This is often faster and saves the bandwidth of the Ubuntu cdimage servers. If you would like to
+learn more about BitTorrent, take a look at `the Wikipedia page on the subject `_.
+
+In order to torrent the file, you need a BitTorrent client. We recommend `Transmission `_, an Open Source BitTorrent
+client. Since Transmission only provides clients for Linux and macOS, we recommend `uTorrent `_ for Windows users.
+
+You first need to download the seed files. They are available on the `Ubuntu cdimage server `_, or you can use the direct
+links provided below.
+
+Direct links:
+ - amd64 (`desktop `_, `alternate `_)
+ - i386 (`desktop `_, `alternate `_)
+
+After you have downloaded the link you need, open it in your BitTorrent client. This will download the image. After
+this is done, we recommend that you leave your BitTorrent client open so you can seed this image for other people.
+
+
+Downloading the image via zsync
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+zsync is a convenient application that will automatically verify the checksum of the image once downloaded. The
+Lubuntu team uses this to download daily images as it will download the changes since the last image was released.
+
+In order to use zsync, you need to install it. Since this is a Linux-only client, you can get it from your
+distribution's package repository.
+
+If you are running Debian or Ubuntu (or a distribution based off of either), run the following command in a terminal:
+
+ sudo apt install zsync
+
+If you are running Fedora (or a distribution based off of it), run the following command in a terminal:
+
+ sudo dnf install zsync
+
+If you are running Arch (or a distribution based off of it), run the following command in a terminal:
+
+ sudo pacman -S zsync
+
+If you are running another distribution, you can find the source code `here `_.
+
+**You have now downloaded the image successfully. Please continue to Chapter 1.2.**
