[Stresslinux.org] Stresslinux 0.4.136 Released

if only Microsoft would get the bigger picture..

OCNix has some competition. Better get moving boys!

I remember looking a while ago for a linux distro that boots off CD with stress tests, this is definitely worth using for system builders.

Is this a Live CD?

Pretty cool. I usually use UBC, but it lacks CPU stress testing software. Now I can finally test my overclocks without risking screwing up any of my operating systems (do to instability).

EDIT:

Argh, but their bandwith is super slow! Oh well, DLing now, will report later.

Is there a torrent?

In theory a stripped down live distro packed with stress testing tools ought to be faster at revealing instabilities. This is going by the same principle that running other processes during a windows prime95/linx/etc run will allow it to continue without errors for longer.

Yeah, I dont think Microsoft really cares about releasing a stress testing OS when most overclockers can get those programs within minutes installed on their machine either from their external storage, server, or downloading it. Besides, most people care about benchmarks for Windows based fps and not really the Linux side, it's just the truth.
