Ubuntu GNOME 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) Alpha 1 Testing

Hi Folks,

It’s that time once again. The team has been hard at work getting ready for the Alpha 1 release for 13.10 (Saucy Salamander), and we need your help with testing images.

The required tests can be found at:
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/297/builds
Under the heading: “Product (Ubuntu GNOME)”. Be sure to check frequently as each updated build as we get closer to Alpha release will need to be tested again.
Links to download the images are available from the testcases, or directly from:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-gnome/daily-live/current/
