 ===== Installing =====
-This page will help you decide which type of development installation will best suit you and your hardware.
-The different types of installation suit different types of testing. Those are dealt with in more detail on the next page, for the moment this list will give you some idea of the suitability of installation and testing types.
-  - Install Xubuntu as the main Operating System: Best suited to exploratory testing
-  - Install Xubuntu alongside another OS: Fairly well suited to exploratory testing
-  - Install Xubuntu inside a 'Virtual Machine': Suited to exploratory and static testing
-  - Use a live media version (on a USB stick, DVD or in a VM: Suited to static testing
 ===== Step 1: Get the Xubuntu development version up and running =====

   - You have a computer you can use, but either can't or don't want to install another OS - **Use Live Media to run Xubuntu**
-Once you've done one of these installation methods you will have already made a start - and you've been testing. Now comes the important part from the Xubuntu Team - you need to tell us or we'll have no idea that you have tested for us.
+Each of these is described in a separate paragraph in a bit more detail below, and, after you have installed Xubuntu, at the end of each of these paragraphs you will find a link onto Step 2 with more information about 'Testing' itself.
+However, just by installing the OS you have actually already completed some very valuable testing - you have confirmed (or not) that the installation itself works.
-In this case the way to tell us is to report your install on the [[http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/ |Iso Tracker]] - this very important webpage tells people from all of the flavours who's installed using the Daily ISO.
+Now, the Dev Team really needs to know this extremely valuable information - there are more details on the [[https://wiki.xubuntu.org/qa/report|Reporting Back]] page, but for now please be aware that the way to give them this info is by reporting your install on the [[http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/ |Iso Tracker]]
 ==== 1 -  You have a computer that you don’t depend on - Install Xubuntu as the main Operating System ====
