Lance Yes, that's right. We should also have that warning on the Lubuntu web pages. It can be done long before a bug-fix reaches the iso files on the download web sites. -- Ubuntu-quality mailing list Ubuntu-quality@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-quality

I know some links are pointing to the Wiki Area already but I do strongly believe that our website should be updated the same way our Wiki area is being updated too. I know the Wiki Area is much faster and easier to be updated but we can't forget about the website :D Thank you! -- *Best Regards, amjjawad* *https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad/* Lubuntu One Stop Thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1844755| My Launchpad https://launchpad.net/%7Eamjjawad | My Ubuntu Forum Profilehttp://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=941822 ** -- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/phillw -- Ubuntu-quality mailing list Ubuntu-quality@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-quality
