Live Linux CD for burn-in with Bonnie++?

Question

Is there a live linux distro that I can use for burn-in? I'd like something that has Bonnie++ on it. I've found other live CDs that have utilities, but nothing with bonnie++ on it.

You might want to look at another distro named Parted Magic. It specializes in everything that has to do with hard disks and includes bonnie++ among other things.
