Beta in risk - a related story

[Ricardo Lameiro]

did you did that upgrade in ubuntu studio?

I tested some ISOs and found some problems on the networking in
UbuntuStudio, but i didnt tested for upgrade. As far as i know, Ubuntu
studio isnt considered a 10.04 isnt considered an LTS, altough its based on
the ubuntu LTS.

Also i will try to find some time to test the ISOs, but i am really short in
time this days.
