This brings up something I was mentioned a while back without any takers. One of the reasons Solaris is so stable, especially under loaded conditions, is that Sun tests the hell out of their OS.
Wouldn't it make sense to have a test suite for the Linux kernel? It's pretty sad when Linux has been in production machines for years, and the above is the confidence level people hold Linux and its drivers up to. A test suite to stress-test as many scenarios as possible would be nice, and would help establish a minimum standard of performance/stabliity for drivers in the kernel.
Thanks! Jeff
