Phoronix Live CD

Phoronix Test Suite is one of the best system testing and hardware benchmarking solutions available. To use PTS you would have to install it on system such Linux, OpenSolaris, Mac OS X, & BSD in order to use it, this is an inconvenience if you run Windows. Not anymore, now you can use PTS in the form of a live cd called Phoronix Test Suite Desktop Live. This means the suite is now a portable benchmarking and system testing solution that can boot on any system that can boot from either CD/DVD or USB drive.

PTS Desktop Live is a Linux distribution designed to provide a free software platform for carrying out system tests and hardware benchmarks in an automated, reproducible, and effective manner. PTS Desktop Live is designed around the Phoronix Test Suite with the operating system itself consisting of a stripped down Linux environment, then built upon that is the Phoronix Test Suite with its test profiles and suites. This distribution is not a standard Linux desktop with the normal throng of packages. Testing with PTS Desktop Live is intended to be via a Live DVD or Live USB (i.e. flash drive or memory card) environment. PTS Desktop Live makes it very easy to deploy the Phoronix Test Suite across an array of systems, isolates any software differences when seeking to perform hardware comparisons, and is designed to be very easy to carry out these Linux benchmarks even for a first-time Linux user.
