New Ubuntu web page. Can't find FEISTY...

[Gilles Gravier]

Mfff.... yes... I mean Feisty not Hoary. I'm jet lagged, travelling in 
Canton, China... so brain only partly operational at this time.

But Feisty COULD be downloaded easily. You went to the links on top 
center of page. Selected "Developers" which would take you to a page 
(http://www.ubuntu.com/developers) on which you could directly go to the 
Testing Page : http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/

I found this thanks to the wayback archive web site.

So now I know the direct link to Feisty downloads : 
http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/

I just wish it didn't take me 15 minutes of search... They are not 
making it easy for us volunteer testers...
