dear siduction development,
One user in my country is asking about the checksum about the MD5SUM ? He wants to know the results about the calculation.Could you let me know about each one desktop (kde, xfce and lxde). I aprreciate  your reply as soon as possible.I have read the release notes but I didn't find it out. I'm looking forward to hear from you.Thanks at all.
cheers.

I don't understand your question, each md5sum-file is available for each iso in the repos. For your convenience I have linked all six md5sum files:

md5-files are plain text, so you can open and read them with whatever text editor! But you don't need to!
It's far easier verifying the ISO by  putting the respectiv *.iso.md5 file in the same folder as the *.iso is and then running:

"md5sum -c file-to-verify.iso.md5"

Then you get "ok" or "could not verify"
