Note(s) from the Maintainer:

We saw lot of cleanups in this month with few new tests being added. I
would complete my promise about the remaining OLS 2008 fallout
discussions for LTP, soon. We will also discuss about the recently
concluded CRACKERJACK Developers Summit & the Linux Plumbers conference,
and what they mean for LTP´s future.


Our web site also contains other information such as:
- A Linux test tools matrix
- Technical papers
- How To's on Linux testing
- Code coverage analysis tool.

We would encourage the community to post results to
ltp-results@lists.sf.net,
