another issue thought of is that when you get multiple .iso images, the file name seems to change the md5sum ... so the <span>gutsy-desktop-i386(2).iso would have a different md5sum than </span><span>gutsy-desktop-i386.iso
and won't match with the one posted on the site<br><br>now, i personally only have interest in the xubuntu gutsy image so i wouldn't have this problem, but i can see where it might become an issue.<br><br>just a thought

We would do it by date. xubuntu-gutsy-20070615 would be a daily.</blockquote></span></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div>I don't think that adding the dates would be the way to go just because some people use rsync to update their images to the latest version. It saves them download time, and also saves some bandwidth. The rsync-updating approach wouldn't work if there were different time-stamped file names for each new image.
<br><br>Also, if someone needs to verify the date of their image for some reason, they could just check the md5sum. I think there's even a date-related file included in the ISO image somewhere, but I don't recall what it is off-hand.
<br><br>I'll bring this iso-filename matter up to the team that builds the images soon. I'll try to see if there's been any discussion on this elsewhere first, though. I have to imagine that it's come up before... Maybe there's a reason for it being the way it is.
