Hello everybody!
I have done a list of all the tips you should know in order to test Ubuntu.
Here is the list. Enjoy it!
First of all, you should know that here we work with the development version of Ubuntu, so it can get broken easily. So please, never use Feisty with valuable data. You can loose it.
If you are new to Linux, you may want to have an stable system. If you want that, please use an stable release of Ubuntu.
There are two types of CDs: Desktop CD and Alternate. The desktop CD allows you to try Ubuntu without changing your computer at all, and at your option to install it permanently later. This type of CD is what most people will want to use. You will need at least 192MB of RAM to install from this CD. The alternate install CD allows you to perform certain specialist installations of Ubuntu.
If you don't know the ID of your image:
The ID is the number of the daily-build. When you download the daily-build, it is on a folder with the ID. For example, 20070111.1
To check the md5sum of your image, open a terminal and write:
md5sum imagename.isoIt will return you some numbers and letters. If they are the same as those on the download page, the md5sum is right, and your iso is good.
For bug reports, Ubuntu uses Malone (http://bugs.launchpad.net) at Launchpad (http://launchpad.net). If you find a bug, please, search (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?advanced=1) if it has already been reported, and if it hasn't, report (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug) it yourself.
That's everything I have to say now. I will add things whenever I remember them :D
Regards and good luck with your tests!
