[16:49] <metalbiker> hey guys. i just wanted to state that i'm in the process of downloading 18.10 to test out. is there a location i need to look at, website wise, to go through certain items to test? 
[16:49] <OvenWerks> we like to test main applications
[16:50] <OvenWerks> make sure jack works/has rt permisions
[16:50] <OvenWerks> make sure either Ardour or Qtracktor run
[16:50] <OvenWerks> try one of the art programs like GIMP
[16:51] <OvenWerks> do a quick video edit with one of the video editors (join two videos together and render)
[16:52] <OvenWerks> also see: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/
[16:53] <OvenWerks> http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/390/builds/172611/testcases
[16:53] <OvenWerks> each of the three have test cases
[16:54] <OvenWerks> for the install, "erase disk and install" may not be something you wish to use
[16:55] <OvenWerks> I always choose "do something else" and install to a partition I have set aside for testing.
[16:57] <metalbiker2> ovenwerks: like a dual boot?
[16:57] <OvenWerks> metalbiker2: ya, i have a large partition That just has home stuff
[16:57] <metalbiker2> well, what i was planning on doing since i've got to do it anyway, is install it on my workstation computer that's not my general use computer. 
[16:58] <OvenWerks> then I have some 2g partitions that I install the OS to.
[16:58] <OvenWerks> in that case no problem
[16:59] <OvenWerks> metalbiker2: I am not sure what stuff above you saw or did not.
[16:59] <metalbiker2> ovenwerks: i've been aiming to get my workstation put back together for over a month now and i'm heading into the weekend with nothing going on so i'm doing that.
[17:00] <metalbiker2> ovenwerks: oh you mean the items you mentioned to test?
[17:00] <OvenWerks> ya, it looks like you switched from one irc client to another
[17:01] <metalbiker2> yeah, my settings for my irc client aren't on point just yet. i've got to tweak that right now. lol
[17:02] <metalbiker2> i'm using hexchat, which is cool, but i like konversation with it's ability to set things before you connect like username, passwords, all that jazz.
[17:03] <metalbiker2> what i need to do is back out and come back in so give me a few minutes and i'll brb
[17:07] <metalbiker> now i'm back
[17:07] <metalbiker> i sort of, um, overlooked the edit options for the servers to connect to so now i've got automatic identification set now. lol duh
