64-bit Torrent

If you have downloaded the full iso just download the torrent file from one of the above links into the same directory and help seed.

newbie question: I've been on travel so I'm behind in my testing throughout the betas. I still have alpha installed, so can I upgrade to beta 2 through the default repositories checked in Synaptic or do you recommend through CLI via apt-get?

I plan on upgrading my test machine tonight and hoping I can do so through Synaptic.

Yes you can do it tthrogh synaptic, but a lot easier to do it from the CLI with aptitude update and aptitude safe-upgrade.

Aptitude does a better job of resolving dependencies, and is available in the repos.
