Public bug reported:

Hi,

in the 18.04 release on http://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/ there's two
files

ubuntu-18.04-live-server-amd64.img
ubuntu-18.04-live-server-amd64.iso

which are identical, even the SHA256SUMS lists them as identical:

7a1c2966f82268c14560386fbc467d58c3fbd2793f3b1f657baee609b80d39a8 
*ubuntu-18.04-live-server-amd64.img
7a1c2966f82268c14560386fbc467d58c3fbd2793f3b1f657baee609b80d39a8 
*ubuntu-18.04-live-server-amd64.iso


Beyond the fact that it does not make sense to distribute large files 
identically under different names I thought (I read somewhere but can't 
remember where) that the *.img files are server hard disk images that can be 
directly copied with dd onto hard disks and just need to expand their partition 
to get a ready-to-run ubuntu.
