If the torture suite is a bunch of scripts, that is probably something I can help with. I don't know what's the contribute policy for this project, but if contributors are welcome I would like to start a wiki page to gather test suite ideas, and I'd start writing scripts to execute the tests and report back results A bit intro about myself: I come from a "system engineering" background. I've been introduced to Linux around 10 years ago. I'm an RHCE, and currently work as a system engineer, integrating solutions and consulting on them. I have been involved with the Fedora community. Action Items: - How do I get access to create a wiki page - Any instructions on checking out the code and building it ? - I'm planning on using a VM for testing, any specific VMs recommended (VirtualBox?)
