[SOLVED] Testing a Linux PC's Hardware

[parkernathan]

On my Mac, I use some of Micromat's hardware test tools (ATOMIC, Checkmate, DriveScope, Lifespan, MachineProfile, and TechTool Pro). Since I currently have Linux Mint installed on an older iMac, I can always boot off of a TechTool Protogo flash drive and use it to test my iMac's hardware.

However, if I get into other Linux PC hardware (such as a MintBox Pro), are there other hardware testing apps/tools I should consider using, or should I just use my hardware and worry about it only if something breaks?

Thanks!

There's a program in the repositories called hardinfo, if it's already installed it may show in your menu as "System Profiler and Benchmarker" which does some decent benchmarking tests if you choose "generate report".

Sounds good. I'll check it out. Thanks!
