At the appropriate points, will we be able to download complete ISOs for each desktop, ready to rock and roll? j_dulaney > Subject: Desktop validation testing expansion > From: awilliam@xxxxxxxxxx > To: xfce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; lxde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Date: Fri, 9 Jul 2010 21:36:06 -0700 > > Hi, everyone. > > I'm sending this email to more widely announce something we've been > working on for a while.
