sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install testdrive
For Other ubuntu users

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
For Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) users add the following lines
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/testdrive/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/testdrive/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
For Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) users add the following lines

deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/testdrive/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main
Save and exit the file
Add gpg key

Update source list
sudo apt-get update
Install test drive
sudo apt-get install testdrive
Then you can either run testdrive from the command line, or use the menu, Applications -> System Tools -> Testdrive.
Then, a menu will pop up, with a menu of Lucid daily images. If you have previously downloaded any of these, you should see a time stamp of the cached file. If you run testdrive everyday, your cache will stay up-to-date, and the incremental download will be much faster!
Select one of the offered ISOs, or enter a URL to another one of your choosing, and you should be off and running.
