Interesting.. thanks..

I was hoping that the testing would include validation testing.  I'm
looking for a package that lets one easily create tests such as:

* Is /var filesystem 1G or larger
* Does user xxx exist?
* Do packages x, y, z exist at the indicated versions?
* Is IPTABLES enabled on bootup?  Is it running currently?

I've been using Perl Test:Harness for some of these, and it works to a
point, but creating new tests is somewhat laborious and requires
familiarity with Perl. I.e., I can do it so that means I end up doing
it...

I wonder what the validation system is for CentOS?  Such a suite would
be useful to me to convince others that CentOS works identically --
bug for bug -- with RHEL.
