Run it, try the different installation methods, especially with testing
and unstable. Report the findings either as bugs or on the mailing-list.
Show things that can be made easier to understand/use for the mainframe

Maybe you know how to properly IPL systems from CD/DVD and can even test
that. Maybe you have the possibility to run it on a LPAR instead of VM.
