I recently posted a message about an issue I was having with SuSE 9 crashing. I eventually managed to work out that the issue was hardware and by a process of elimination found that the network card was the source of the problem.
My question is this - Is there a more directed way in which I could have diagnosed the problem? I looked in many different log files but didn't find anything to tell me a) there's a hardware problem, b) that it was the network card. There were posts on the internet that suggested that some of the symptoms I had could be caused by bad memory, but in my case this turned out not to be the case.
Supplementary question - Does anyone know of any decent hardware testing/burnin software available under GNU or similar?
