I usually do a "make buildworld" as that stresses pretty much everything at once (aside from the network, unless you have the /usr/src directory NFS mounted) There are also programs for stressing specific parts of the system: memtest, cpuburn and bonnie++ (I know that bonnie++ is for measuring performance, but I've found that it works well as a stress test for hard drives as well) If you really want to push it, try all four running at once for a few hours ... that oughta prove the machine. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
