[LinuxUsers] Update ISO's with zsync

[Chris Penn]

http://zsync.moria.org.uk/

Zsync uses the rsync algorithm, but runs it on the client side, thus
avoiding the high server load associated with rsync.  Where rsync is
designed for synchronising data from one computer to another within an
organisation, zsync is designed for file distribution, with one file
on a server to be distributed to thousands of downloaders.  Zsync
provides transfers that are nearly as efficient as rsync -z or cvsup,
without the need to run a special server application. All that is
needed is an HTTP/1.1-compliant web server. So it works through
firewalls and on shared hosting accounts, and gives less security
worries.
