Lots of people give me hdds for testing and once I’ve saved their data, they get a dbanning. It is the simplest yet most effect hdd tool out there IMO. The task you set going on the CF card shows you’ve got the right idea about how to use it for hardware testing.

Also I agree wholeheartedly with mulenmar. I recently moved my 1GHz P3 server to a friends place to host my meagre site since my modem+router died. Turns out they decided to turn it off since it wasn’t doing anything(!!) so before I went back to get it I ressurected my server on my old 500MHz P3 toshiba satellite4200 + 192MB that had been lying dormant for about 3 months. Got a fancy new cisco router+modem and the setup hasn’t missed a beat in 3 days….the old thomson585 was real POS as a network/server router. I’m hoping to get a CF card for the toshiba and use an 8GB USB stick as storage and have a totally solid-state server…sans X of course ;)
