Re: Last tests before 11.10 release

 

Ali,

we need testing on completely new install - not an upgrade. New people will
not be using zsync... they will be using the iso. At this time of year
(release time) the servers get hammered. Too many people, too few servers.
It is for this reason we beg people to use the torrents and be seeders;
every seeder makes a difference for the better.

I'll drag down the RC version and pop it onto piglet. This is the version
new people will be using. (I'm hoping they have got the Ubiquity system
working, else we're going to be giving lessons on the alternate CD ;) )

Regards,

Phill.
