Before testing this release, make sure to review the release notes. It is particularly useful to take note of the following known issue:
When installing Xubuntu, the systray appears in the middle of the screen, with three icons flashing constantly. This prevents the installation from the live environment, and makes the desktop pretty much unusable after any installation completes. There is a workaround to this issue described in the bug report (586012).
