Re: [libreoffice-users] Use of MD5 and other HASHvalues of LibO package downloads and alternate distribution DVD uploads

here is the results of the md5sum command for the ISO file I uploaded to 
the server admin.

timothy@timothy-desktop:~$ md5sum 
LO-3.5.7_English-NA-DVD_all-platforms_multi-lang_plus-extras_v1_oct-18-2012.iso

That way you can be certain that what you prepared will make it intact out to the mirrors. Each user then must be responsible for verifying their own downloads, with some trust that what is being downloaded is your original. Using the HASH values facilitates that at all steps--but you set the foundation for it.
