DESCRIPTION
testdrive is a utility that allows you to easily download the latest Ubuntu development
release or Cloud image, and run it in a virtual machine.
The global configuration file, /etc/testdriverc, is sourced first, followed by the user's
local configuration file, ~/.testdriverc, and xdg configuration
~/.config/testdrive/testdriverc.
Users wanting to change the behavior default configuration can make a copy of the global
configuration /etc/testdriverc, and either store it as ~/.testdriverc, or as another file
and pass that filename on the command line.
Downloaded ISO files and disk images are stored in ~/.cache/testdrive, and may optionally
be cleaned out, periodically.
EXAMPLES
