Note that between Precise Alpha 2 and Beta 1, we’ll release the 4th update of Lucid that will need testing as well.
The first candidates are published on Monday or Tuesday the week of the release. For example, for Precise Alpha 1 next week, the candidates will be available for testing on Tuesday Nov. 29th and Precise Alpha 1 will be released on Dec. 1rst.
Of course, you don’t need to wait the week of the release to test the images as new builds are published daily.
You can download them from cdimage.ubuntu.com or using one of the tool dl-ubuntu-test-iso from ubuntu-qa-tools or testdrive available from the archive.
