Roberto!

I'm so glad that the test worked well for you!  That's great news.  However,
when I view the ISO testing page, I don't see your comments under the bug
for the Xubuntu alternate cd (
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-iso-tests/+bug/93134 ).

Would you mind using that link to report your results?  Just add the
following information as a comment to that bug.

Test case type:
Date of testing:
md5sum confirmed:
Bugs identified:
Comments:

Thanks again!

Jim
