Hello all, Just wanted to give you some progress on this (see below). I managed today to build my first JMeter-Knoppix! It's still pretty raw but it's evolving or should I say I'm learning. Anyway what I've got so far is a Knoppix 5.1.1 with a running JMeter. What I'll still need to do is the automatic boot-up of JMeter-server and the immediate ssh and VNC on boot. Then some design stuff and it's ready to go.
The idea I'm following is to produce a JMeter bootable Linux so that I don't have to install machines when I need more servers to generate load. I just want to pop-in the CD and boot. Put the IP into the main JMeter machine (will this be possible in the client some time in the future?! And the switching from standard to batch to... too?). But the CD can be used as a main JMeter machine too. Just use an additional USB drive or external HDD and away you go. The nice thing is here that the physical hard drives stay untouched. So you can use your bosses machine as a load driver and not get caught ;-) The current versions are: nightly build of JMeter 2.2 from end of Feb and Java 1.5.0_10. As soon as I get to something I can call version 0.1 I'll be happy to share the ISO. ....if I find someone that's willing to host an ISO and I don't get any legal/GPL problems. @Sebb: Can you send me that link to the nightly builds again? @all: If you're interested in something like this let me know. If you have any additional ideas let me know too. Send email to JMeter(at)erlewein.net please. Oh and.... if somebody has a cool name for this....

Hi all, I wondered whether somebody out there has a Linux JMeter Boot CD that he/she might share?! What I mean is a bootable Linux (Knoppix or something like it) which is customised to be a JMeter client/server. If not I'll probably try and do something like that over the next weeks (months?!). Oh and why would I need it?! Because then I could use PC's as load drivers that do not have to be dedicated machines. It also makes the whole setup easier.
