Hi José, I think all current versions are worth testing. It is valuable to test how a released version of [KLX]Ubuntu co-operates with your laptop, and it is also valuable to test how a not yet released version will co-operate with your laptop. So think of
12.04 LTS This version will live until April 2017 and will be the best alternative for people who want the computer to be very stable, and who need not get the bleeding edge software. 12.10 This is still the most modern released version Raring (to be 13.04) This will soon become the most modern released version If you can't test all versions, and want a priority list, I would say that it depends on the laptop. It also makes a difference if you want to test dual boot with Windows 8. For a laptop that is old enough to work well with 12.04 LTS, I would give that the highest priority, followed by Raring. For a new laptop, I would give Raring the highest priority. But this is only my personal preferences, and you may get other advice ;-) Best regards Nio On 2013-04-14 19:34, Jose I Diaz Bardales wrote: > > Ho and Phil! > > Thank you for your comments, but I think I was not able to articulate my > questions correctly. > > When it comes to test images I can use VM, a USB or a DVD on any type of > Hardware, right? > > But I have want to test my Laptop **not an image** then I have to use > the hardware of my laptop not a VM.
