I would respectfully disagree. With a six month release cycle and a nine month support cycle I'd very much appreciate some help testing the 'release-upgrader' properly. Properly is a key word, eg; To upgrade Ubuntu GNOME Saucy to Ubuntu GNOME Trusty Beta 1 simply execute the command "update-manager -d" in the terminal. No sudo is required, nor is it preferred! To upgrade Ubuntu GNOME Saucy to Ubuntu GNOME Trusty Daily simply execute the command "update-manager -d -c" in the terminal. Again no sudo is required, nor is it preferred! Bug filing against the 'release-upgrader' is still a bit confusing to me, but official documentation indicates that "ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core" should usually be sufficient, just be sure to include the log files contained in "/var/log/dist-upgrade/". > > Why? > Because the installation process is the very first thing that everyone > needs to test.

One bad installation experience can turn a user against a distro forever! So those of us who don't mind blowing things up from time to time are key to producing a pleasant end result. Lance
