[lubuntu-devel] Xenial 64-bit systems, that can be used to install Lubuntu

[Nio Wiklund]

Hi Jan,

Thanks for testing this 64-bit system :-)

Now we know, that it works (not only in my own computers). And it is 
good to remind people of the bug when you connect to a wireless network 
(the button does not work, but pressing the Enter key works).

Best regards
Nio
