StressLinux is a minimal live Linux distribution for simulating extremely high-load situations on computers. During these stress tests and benchmarks, StressLinux monitors the health of the hardware. It is a live distro, so all you have to do is burn the .iso file to a CD or DVD and boot from it. It does not have a GUI so you have to be at least a little familiar with command-line.
This is good for people who are overclocking their computers, or want to test unstable software. If a computer can handle the load forced upon it while running StressLinux, it will be able to handle anything on its native OS. This runs on 64-bit computers only.

HOW TO USE:
Using a live OS is really quite simple. Just use a program to burn ISO images to a CD. Then shutdown your computer, place the CD in the CD drive, and turn the computer on. A lot of computers will automatically boot from a CD, but if it doesn't, you might have to press something like F12 to get to the Boot Options, where you select the CD.
