Hadn't heard of Inquisitor. Have you used this product and been happy with it? I was actually thinking not of testing on bare hardware, but rather of suggestions on how to test performance following the install of the OS. For example, imagine we do an install of RHEL5 and everything appears to go well. During boot we see a few messages fly by about various things being disabled, but we can't read them. The system appears to operate normal when eyeballing it, but we don't notice that access to the system disks is going only 1/4 its normal speed. I'd like us to notice before we release the machine to internal customers. I would think one of the OS-level benchmark suites would fit the bill, but I was hoping someone on the list would already have gone through that process of choosing the tests to run and could offer some advise from experience. -- Trever -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
