Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Stress Test Tools

There is stresslinux: http://www.stresslinux.org/sl/
Linux Benchmark Suite: http://lbs.sourceforge.net/
Linux Test Project: http://ltp.sourceforge.net/

I don't know if Inquisitor is still around anywhere:
http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/149774?theme=print

I don't know if Phoronix Test Suite is CLI or GUI, but it is an option:
http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/

This is an resource, but it may have some good links still:
