+% Registration Usage of Virtualized GNU/Linux to Support Binary
+% Testing Across Multiple Distributions
+% Proposal Gordon McFadden (gordon.mcfadden@intel.com)
+
+In this paper, we will discuss how we created a test
+environment using a single high-end test host that
+implemented multiple test hosts. The test environment
+enabled the testing of software running on different
+Linux distributions with different kernel versions.
+This approach improved test automation, avoided capital
+expenditures and saved on desktop real-estate. We
+employed a version of Gentoo Linux with a modified 2.6
+kernel, along with multiple instances of different
+distributions and version of Linux running on User Mode
+Linux (UML). The particular tests involved are related
+to the Linux Standards Base, but the concept is
+applicable to many different environments.
+
+We will describe how we improved aspects of the Gentoo
+kernel to improve performance. We will describe the
+methods used to affect a lightweight inter UML
+communications mechanism. We will also talk about the
+file systems chosen for both the host OS and the UML.
+Finally, we will have a brief discussion around the
+benefits and limitations of this type of test
+environment, and will discuss plans for future test
+environments.
