feisty herd 2 test install

[Cody Somerville]

Hi Robert,

 Please file your report on the Ubuntu forums at
http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=201and a member of the Xubuntu
team (ie. me) will copy the results over to the wiki. By posting on the
forums, you let people know that Xubuntu is active! So if any other users
are interested in testing, please post on the forums as well.

Furthermore, please feel free to update the wiki as well (if you know how).
If you don't have an account, please visit http://launchpad.net and create
one. Note: If you already have a launchpad.net account OR you've used
shipit, that login will work on all three sites.

Thanks,

Cody A.W. Somerville
