Fedora
If the testsuite behaves on other fedora installations as on my, I understand that its % is so low: Out of curiosity I tried to run some of the test - already at downloading/installing the missing pakets, it crashed/went into some kind of endless loop that created as many processes as possible. Also the system detection is buggy: System info yields with my system: PROCESSOR = Intel Core i7-3930K @ 5.70GHz (12 Cores) - and no, my system is actually not running at 5.7 GHz.
I found the idea of such a test suite very good, even when it is not running on all systems/distributions (I am not curious enough/have that much spare time to track that bugs back). Michael does a good job with this, but one should be careful when drawing general conclusion as "this/that distri is the most popular for conduction test", when maybe the reason is just that it is not working out of the box with certain distributions.

Makes it really simple to get arch up and running for us non "gifted" people.
(Am I doing it right? )
