Re: ppc problems with lubuntu ISOs

 

Hi,

the dailies are still appearing on the tracker (under beta) and people are
encouraged to test them so we do not get any nasty surprises when we launch
the Release Candidate. The next set of test everything will be when the
Release Candidate lands (18th April).

Regards,

Phill.
