##{{attachment:aardvark1.png}}

= Introduction =

''' Say hello to Bionic Beaver. '''

''' Artful Aardvark is behind us and Bionic Beaver is now chomping away , building new clouds and infrastructure. Zesty Zapus is now past us and we are on to new a new journey setting sail, once again, over the air with Artful Aardvark. ZZ has delivered us an alternate log on to a Technical Preview of the unity8 desktop which was probably one of the most difficult cycles to test, mostly because of breakage with unity8 components. Unfortunately unity8 and unity in general has been replaced by the Gnome3 DE. Time will tell. Also , don't forget to have fun! '''

##''' Ubuntu development cycle has been going through some changes. One of the core changes during the Utopic Unicorn ##cycle has been the introduction of SystemD, which is suppossed to boot Ubuntu faster and manage the boot process ##better. Also the introduction of Ubuntu-Next Unity8 flavour ISO. We expect to see even more changes comming as we ##say goodbye to Xenial Xerus and welcome to Yakkety Yak! Here is where more work on convergence will take place and ##experimentation and testing on Ubuntu-Core and Snappy Smart Things. Mark Shuttleworth made reference in his keynote ##adress that Ubuntu is in a very strategic position as this new-next revolution of convergence to phone, tablets ##and desktops comes into being, that ubuntu will be more than a mainspring in this metamorphosis.

## Hi all and welcome to the '''Ubuntu''' tester wiki. Let's get ready to {{http://ubuntuforums.org/images ## /misc/icon-search.png|Lets get moving Oy vey:)}}! The purpose of the wiki is to help new-users, regular ## users and veteran users of '''Ubuntu''' beta releases to have an informative and fun reference base to
## help with the tedious work involved in beta testing of '''Ubuntu''' releases. The page format will also ## attempt to cast a wider net in hopes of being a '''user_friendly''' technical reference base to help
## others who are testing and/or just plain having fun operating '''Ubuntu''' operating systems and products. ## Of course at this point these current writings only represent a synopsis of a larger schematic proposed ## by others in the '''Ubuntu''' community - so -'''expect more to come!'''

## Linux- '''Ubuntu''' and all of it's flavours, '''Lubuntu''' , '''Xubuntu''' , '''Edubuntu''' and
## '''Kubuntu''' are all free operating systems developed and distributed by Canonical. The Canonical
## developers are dependent on groups of testers, some technical, some professional and other lay persons in ## the feild of testing whether professional or not. Your testing determines the actual quality of the final ## released product. That is why it is so very important to test Ubuntu rigorously so that it will be of the ## highest quality from a performance aspect on release day.
## '''Your''' contributions matter. Those who have joined up to the '''tester-wiki''' are encouraged to
## contribute in any way they can. You people are the backbone and the minds that will make this wiki thread ## great one for all human beings. It will also determine whether Ubuntu will be the best Linux for Human
## Beings operating system on the planet.
 
## = How to get the Development Release? =

 {{attachment:lubuntu.jpeg|The building blocks of knowledge are founded in simplicity|align="right"}}

## The best way to get a development release from an '''existing install of Ubuntu''' is to follow these
## simple instructions. First, the sources list can be edited in the terminal by issuing the command '''sudo ## sed -i 's/quantal/raring/g' /etc/apt/sources.list''' and then '''sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get
## dist-upgrade''' These commands are used for the current development release which is Raring Ringtail. You ## can also find the most current and up to date information at this link: [[http://ubuntuforums.org
## /showthread.php?t=2073477|ReleaseScheduleByCariboo907forRR]] . Development releases are dynamic, usually ## every 6 months, so it is important to check in with [[http://ubuntuforums.org
## /index.php|TheUbuntuForumCommunity]]

## ''' The interim testers wiki is an offsite wiki link that is basically a duplicate of this current wiki with the ## exception that it is more current and up to date with data of the current development cycle. It will also include ## a new section called Instructional Development which may include some animations that may cause some users with ## ## slower machines and slower internet bandwidth some difficulties in loading and scrolling. An offsite text version ## of Instructional Development may be a work in progress in the imediate future. '''

== New Beta Testers Warnings ==

''' Artful Aardvark is the codename for the new development cycle. If you are a new Beta tester and want to upgrade your repositories to the new development cycle then you must be advised that there are certain risks of breakage that could take place on your system(s). it is always advised that you have an extra system (hardware) or an extra harddrive to experiment with. If you are not familiar with experimenting with computer hardware or software then U+1 is not the forum for you, however, if you are willing to be on the cutting edge of Ubuntu release and understand that there could be breakage and want to contribute then the Ubuntu community welcomes you and your valued contributions.

== Some sudo Command Definitions ==
'''sudo''' basically means '''superusers-do'''. It is the basic command that gives access to administrative files that may need root authentication.
