One way I can help is to do validation testing of your stuff.  As part
of creating the gEDA CD ROM distribution, I put together a Linux
validation lab in my basement.  (Geek alert!)  I have a bunch of junk
machines I have collected over the years.  I also have many sets of
Linux distro install CDs (mostly SuSE and RedHat/Fedora, I admit).  To
perform a test I generally load up a test machine wiht a new, clean
install of whatever distro, and then run my gEDA CD Installer to
verify that it installs cleanly (i.e. runs to completion) on that
particular distro.

If you have some target systems you wish to run on, and when your
software is close to ready, I can do some install trials on my test
platforms.  Just let me know what distros you want to test against,
and what type of testing you'd like to see.  If you want to test
against a distro I don't have, I will probably ask you to send me the
CDs.

Please keep in mind that this is one of my hobbies, so don't expect
instant turn-around!  But I am happy to provide some testing services
to help you guys get your gEDA stuff running smoothly.
