How we tested OpenSUSE 10.1.
We tested OpenSUSE 10.1 on a gigabit network with notebooks (Toshiba Satellite with AMD CPU, HP with 64bit CPU, Apple PowerBook G4), desktops (Compaq Presario SR1020NX, others), and on several server platforms (HP DL140 3GHz Xeon 32-bit CPU; Polywell dual AMD Athlon 64-bit CPUs and others) for hardware compatibility, installation driver support and operation of hardware postinstallation.
We ran LMBench3 on the HP DL-140 machines (32-bit) and the Polywell (64-bit) for benchmarks.We noted any incompatibilities (none noteworthy) and tested numerous operating-system clients against these server implementations, including the HPDL140 as a 32-bit kernel sample, and the Polywell 2200s as a 64-bit kernel sample.
We tested numerous cardbus adapters (Flash drives, Wi-Fi NICs) for compatibility, but did not test Bluetooth, lacking suitable drivers.
