[Greg Faith <gregfaith@xxxxxxxxx>]

For those of us testing on laptops this will be another place to report
testing. It will however be the Ubuntu
flavor as of now.  I did sign-up for laptop testing but my Lubuntu releases
testing will come first. It appear
the laptop testing will not start until the final Beta 2 spin anyway. Glad
I have all these spare hard drives q:o)
for my Dell D620.
