The real question is how to setup such a test-suite in a way that it is portable and usable for many people. I have to think about that a little bit. Suggestions are welcome... :-))
I think it's worth to put some effort into that. If anyone has some ideas or even a test program to contribute, please contact me directly. I will collect these and provide a first version of a Linux test-suite. Maybe thats a first step to a Linux "Quality Assurance Team"? :-))
