If you want to be really thorough set it up (as you have done) and then try to 
use it for the intended purpose. Sit down and go through every step taken in 
an average day or user session. Intentionally do things wrong to see how it 
handles it. Then rope a few students in to sit down and use it for an average 
session - users have a habit of breaking simple things that work the admin ;) 
If you want to stress test it run a few compiles or similar that will take 
lots of cpu time.
