Beta 1 Testing

The daily images are available on Friday, as everyday.  There's nothing more.  
There never is, so I'm not sure what you mean.  Acting aggrieved about the 
normal situation builds division between testers and developers when we should 
be working together.

If we can get someone to test powerpc, yes, we'd release it if it's working.  
Right before the 12.10 release we got some testing and it didn't work.  AFAIK, 
during raring development there's been no testing, so I've no idea if they 
work now or not.
