1 When i download Gentoo Linux the file name might be called something like:
2 livedvd-amd64-multilib-20160704.iso
3
4 This might be fine if you just want that file and want to use it
5 straight away.
6
7 But lets say like i just did downloaded multiple linux distributions
8 because i want to test them out so i have like 10-20 iso files or what ever.
9
10 Then later one when i see the file name
11 livedvd-amd64-multilib-20160704.iso i have no idea what distribution
12 that was.
13
14 The other distributions i have downloaded all seem to start with the
15 name of the distribution in the file name. I Think Gentoo Linux is the
16 only one yet that does not.
17
18 So would it not be better to use a file name like this?:
19 gentoo-livedvd-amd64-multilib-20160704.iso
