Some good labelling system so we know it is xubuntu-gutsy-alternate rather than ubuntu

[Adam Miller]

Its strange that those two text files yield the same md5sum because i have
had many iso images have different md5sum hashes after their names have been
changed ... its rather possible it was a fluke ... i will investigate
further and if i am wrong, i apologize for distributing false information.
