Better testing of hardware (was: Defective Read Hat)

Part of the issue is that there exists no "easy to use" standardized test software. Full 32-bit concurrent use of many devices can reveal problems that users do not often see in normal applications. One major hardware review site found stability problems with the Intel Pentium 3 1130Mhz
