We could have simfactory configurations to go with this. (Ian) I usually (at irregular intevals) test the testsuites on Debian (stable), Ubuntu (latest) and Fedora (latest though that requires changes to simfactory I think) machines. This tests debian.cfg, ubuntu.cfg and fedora.cfg so that they work with the [[Simplified_Tutorial_for_New_Users|simplified instructions]]. I do not test on OSX (since I hardly use it). (Roland)</li>
