Bug Description
This was originally a question that seems to warrant a bug:
"I would like to ask if the Ubuntu 64-bit PC (x86_64) means the Desktop Edition? I've scrolled in the certification section for Dell PowerEdge T610 and it has the Ubuntu 64-bit PC (x86_64) as certified. Does it means that I can install the Ubuntu 10.10 (64 bit) Desktop Edition onto the Dell PowerEdge T610?"
The verbage that the user sees for all systems is:
The $NAME has been awarded the status of Certified on Ubuntu (64bit|32bit) PC (x86_64|x86).
This seems a bit confusing as it indicates all servers are tested with "Ubuntu PC"?? And PC is synonymous with Desktops and Laptops these days... so it's not difficult to see where an user could draw the assumption that we are certifying desktop edition on Servers.
Changed in certify-web: | |
status: | Fix Committed → Fix Released |
To be clear, I think the verbage displayed on Ubuntu. com/certificati on should be changed to something like hte following:
The $MAKE $MODEL has been awarded the status of Certified on Ubuntu (Desktop|Server) (64bit|32bit)
