Where's Ubuntu Studio Karmic Koala (Testing) ???

**Stochastic** · August 23rd, 2009

When I went to change my listed operating system (in the user details/prefs) I noticed that there's a Karmic Koala (Testing) listing for all the ubuntu derivatives EXCEPT Ubuntu Studio. Why?

The versions we have for testing are simply the 3 different desktop environments. I'm not sure we've ever had Ubuntu Stedio (testing) as an option

There is an Ubuntu Studio Jaunty listed however.

In general, I see those options are rather inconsistent. Ubuntu Studio has been around since Gutsy (or was it Feisty) but I only see it appear in the listings as Jaunty (and now Karmic).

Edubuntu is still active, but the latest version available in the options is Gutsy (which isn't even supported any more)!

Maybe a formal policy should be written so it becomes more consistent? I'd say any "Official Supported" or "Recognized Derivatives" as listed at http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/derivatives should be listed as an option in the forums. That's just my thought, but I'm not on the forum council so I don't have any say.

Thanks, we'll clean that up

One simple idea I thought of for this. For the select other OS, use a text field so the person can type in the OS name needed instead of a drop down list.
