I'm not overly familier with test suites, are there others we can run against our systems and help provide data? Are there particularly useful test sequences we can run?
I've had a cursory look at the contents of the latter (second link in the above message).
Though it's obviously for developers, I wonder if an ordinary user like myself
(non-programmer) might use / find this of use, and perhaps provide some feedback?
IMHO, though I am on a standalone machine connected to the Internet, and not
running server, it appears that some of the tests *could* return useful information
on the state and performance of my hardware... am I correct in so assuming?
