Home:
http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/
Version: 5.3.8
The smartmontools package contains two utility programs (smartctl and smartd) to control and monitor storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System (SMART) built into most modern ATA and SCSI harddisks. In many cases, these utilities will provide advanced warning of disk degradation and failure.
Doku:

compiled in Dingo (4.00).

If a person hasn't gotten this from aragon I
really recommend them doing so---and the sooner the better! For the past week my computer has really been acting up across ALL my installed distros, doing really weird things too numerous to mention here.
A fellow member of the forum suggested I do the SMART testing upon my drive, and the memtest on the RAM/CPU, etc. The latter I passed with flying colours. The former? Well... looks like I'll be chopping up my old Gateway for the 20gig Western Digital that's in it fairly soon if I wish to remain in computers. -sigh- Going to be hard going from 80gigs to 20! LOL!
Thanks for making this available to fellow Puppians aragon! You're doing a great service to us all! Keep up the great work my friend!
Amicalement/Cheers,

The dotpups page:
http://www.puppylinux.org/wiki/developm ... al/dotpups
is still pointing to an old 5.33 version of smartmontools. How can we get that page updated, or redirected to a more recent collection of pups and pets?
