Whilst the first of January maybe a public holiday for some it didn't stop Canonical releasing new Ubuntu and Lubuntu 17.04 (Zesty Zapus) Daily Build ISOs. So I've re-spun them to includes the 4.9 kernel with all the latest drivers and fixes for Bay Trail and Cherry Trail devices.
This is my first Lubuntu Alpha build ISO for anyone wanting to test the latest development work with the lightweight variant of Ubuntu.
Also as some Cherry Trail devices use the RTL8723BS wifi chip I've fine tuned these latest ISOs to improve its support.
To try an ISO download it from one of the links below (in red) and write it to a USB using either 'Rufus' in Windows or 'dd' in Linux.

Ubuntu comes with everything. All the essential applications, like an office suite, browsers, email and media apps come pre-installed and thousands more games and applications are available in the Ubuntu Software Centre.
