I think this would be a great idea. Since Novell, RedHat and others will
most likely only go through the certification process for their
commercial offerings it would be nice to have a place to post test
results for the community based distributions.

Once we get to the point the LSB run time test becomes an easy to follow
process I could imagine that members of the community would post results
for their distributions.
