Good Folk:: I notice that the link for this release is still over at build.laptop.orgwith full access to the parent and sub-directories available.
I had thought that an 'official' release would generally be placed over in download.laptop.org so that non-developers wouldn't get confused with the slew of new stuff like: F-12 ARM and F14. Or, regular users might get curious and load temp or broken builds and software by mistake. Doesnt really matter to me, I brick my machines daily :-), but it might be better to place it over there to avoid support issues from some other rookies.
