One feature that has been asked for repeatedly is the ability to run Linux-Bench remotely on a server without touching the underlying hardware.
The requirements here are that you can boot to a LiveCD
Step 1: Download the Ubuntu 14.04 LiveCD, mount it on the server (through iKVM or using a burned CD/DVD) and boot the server from the media
Step 2: At the welcome screen select "Try Ubuntu"
Step 3: Open a terminal window (the application name is Terminal)
Step 4: Make yourself root
Step 5: Install curl using:
Step 6: Run the benchmark
That is it!
At the end of the run you will see a line that says "ref_link" and has a number next to it. You can use that ID number on http://linux-bench.com/parser.html and it will display benchmark results in a formatted web page. You can then share that ref_link with friends.
