Yup, the naming scheme can be a little confusing. But there currently
are two lines of ISOs, the regular -testX and ng-testX.

The alternative we would have to prevent this would be some number-
hopping, making the next release on any end grab the next test number.
But that would lead people to believe that ng-test-(X+1) is a direct
improvement and successor to test-X, which is not true.

Therefore we have decided to make the test numbers independent of each
other. Once again the two releases:

[...]-nptl-testX.iso are the ISOs created by the old and trusty benoit
scripts

[...]-non-nptl-ng-testX.iso.bz2 are the ISOs created with my New Generation
scripts which as of yet are less stable than benoit's
(though I begin to suspect that it's mostly config files that don't get
touched and so don't get logged and put into the cache that hit me)

So Far,
Karsten
