Some things you can do to help Xubuntu right now are to simply download the CD (links above), perform some basic testing, and report bugs when you find them.

Testing

If you plan to do an installation of Dapper Flight 6, be sure to head to Testing. With just a few minutes of time at your hands, you can really help to improve Ubuntu. We have two different tests; one takes just a short while, but the other is more thorough.

• Testing/Current - Simply note how your installation went

• Testing/Short - the short test

• Testing/Long - the longer test

Reporting Bugs

Your comments, bug reports, patches, and suggestions will help fix bugs and improve future releases. Please report bugs through Launchpad's Bug tracker Malone:
