Is there a utility that checks the stability of a linux install?


Question:

Is there a utility that checks the stability of a linux install?

Summary:

I might be asking for too much, but after running swaret or installing a module, is there a utility that checks the stability of a linux install?

I compare this to the likes of Windows TuneUp Utilities...

Just a thought, it would be nice to see a report of your system and your system's performance.

Thank you for reading this post.

Test of stability :

Code:
#!/bin/sh

error=0
cd /usr/src/linux
while [ $error -eq 0 ]; do
    make mrproper
    make bzImage
    error=$? 
done
Run it for 3 hours, if you have no errors, you should consider your system and in particulary your
processor and RAM work well
