If you had clicked on the download bar, then there's a button that shows
up that says "Verify 64 bit". If you click on that, a text file pops up
showing the checksums. Pretty obvious if you ask me.
I have to eat my words. The signature for the Xfce spin isn't in that
text file. It appears there are signatures for most of the other spins,
but Xfce is conspicuously absent. Sheesh!
My apologies.
