Lubuntu Utopic Unicorn 14.10 β1

lubuntu
We’re preparing Lubuntu 14.10, the Utopic Unicorn, for distribution in October 2014. With this early Beta pre-release, you can see what we are trying out in preparation for our next version (with  3.16.0-11 Ubuntu Linux kernel). Remember that this is an early beta pre-release, so don't use it on daily production computers. We'd like you to join us for testing, especially if you have a PPC machine.
