hi didnt really know if this should go here or in the OS section but anyway move if needed
i have been given a laptop which apparently needs reinstalling the OS on however the reason for this was that it fell down.
my guess is that maybe the hdd was damaged or something and i dont really want to use it permanently if its going to conk up on me.
so i wanted to know if theres any linux distro with tools to check the state of all hardware components
like: memtest, HDDtest...
