The Linux Test Project test suite LTP-20030206.tgz has been released. Visit
our website (http://ltp.sourceforge.net) to download the latest version of
the testsuite that contains
950+ tests for the Linux OS.  The site also contains other information such
as: test results, a Linux test tools matrix, technical papers and HowTos on
Linux testing, and a code coverage analysis tool.  There is also a list of

   - network tests can be run from runalltests (-N).
   - Optional cpu (-c), memory (-m), i/o (-i), and network (-n)
     load generation.
   - default result log directory is now /results.
 - New tests added that cover:
   - hyperthreading
   - stressing mmap()
   - libmm
   - commands such as: cpio, ln, and cp
 - Inclusion of all submitted and accepted patches/fixes through 02/05/03.
