Happy Birthday Stresslinux (31.05.2006)

Three years Stresslinux and after a long time of development the final release 0.3.1 is released.

The changes between rc4 and this final are very small.

The kernel version was bumped to version 2.6.16.18 and the Realtek R1000 driver was added.

Everton Marques suggested to add the following network testing tools, which are now included: nepim, iperf, netperf

Busybox reached version 1.1.3. With this final release the PXE packages are available, too.

Thanks goes to all the testers of the release candidates. There seem to be still some problems with AMD64 hardware.

This is the main reason why i included an extra boot menu entry (noinitrd) to boot without loading extra drivers,

because it sometimes hang on boot.

Page update (07.04.2006)

Just a small update to the page happend. I spent some time to update most pages to valid HTML 4.01

I installed a Forum to gather more feedback about stresslinux. Until now the feedback traffic by mail was really low.

So please register at the forum and post feedback. You can also post your own testscripts and sensors configurations for inclusion in furure releases

Currently i'm working on the next release, which should be out on stresslinux's birthday on 31 May, but my buiildsystem an aged Dual-Athlon system is no more working stable. In the next weeks i need a new system.

The plan is to get a AMD Dual Opteron system, so i can also start with a 64bit version of stresslinux.

Donations are very welcome
