[lubuntu-users] Bionic B Lu - NEXT 18.04 Live Testing . . . sans instructions

[Fritz Hudnut]

Simon Q:

Yes, I know it's "not the same" and that it's "experimental" . . . but it
seemed to be listed as "Bionic" . . . .  I've been trying to offer some
effort at "responding" to Walter's request for bug reports and testing out,
so I thought I'd give Next a test run . . . .
