Do you have a few unused gigabytes of disk space? I used the installer to 
create 
a 5.6 GiB partition and installed a new system there for laptop testing.

Hi all,


Is something like that possible (or already implemented) in Ubuntu?: 
http://www.obdev.at/products/launchbar/index-de.html
See also http://www.obdev.at/products/launchbar/features-de.html
It is a a really, really great application, making a change from Mac to Ubuntu 
worthwhile. If something like that would be implemented in Ubuntu, I would 
change my operating system from Win 7 to Ubuntu immediately.--

I won't be able to swap my laptop's harddrive, I only have one. I will use
the liveCD amd64 to test. Then use the 32bit liveCD.

Dani, the instructions on the testing page are pretty explicit NOT to use a
virtual machine.

What works for me is to have a spare hard drive for testing. At least on my
old Toshiba and Dell, it only takes five minutes to swap.
