(i > luck the availability of hardware) To testing I use 2 machines: PC (mainly use for development, multimedia) and laptop (work, home etc.). Firstly I test kernel on PC. When I'm sure, that kernel doesn't cause any filesystem/hardware error, lost data, then I test it also on laptop. When You can't use more than one computer, I think that is good idea testing/development on VM, before use real machine.
