When Whonix starts for the first time, it won't automatically connect to the public Tor network. This is useful for users who want to hide Tor from their ISP. setup-dist is automatically started, which educates about different methods to connect (public Tor network, bridges, etc.).
Also automatically starts the Whonix Repository Tool (if installed), so the user can decide whether to use Whonix's Repository and if yes, choose which one.
1. Download Whonix's Signing Key.
wget https://www.whonix.org/patrick.asc
