The linux world according to Phoronix

[Daniel ~]

Everyone thinks they know what fast is...But Phoronix can help you prove it!

Phoronix really isn't like benchmarks as we know them. Instead of a nice graphical interface we have a simple command line terminal window that pops up with a deceptively simple menu...

But selecting choice two will bring up 55 choices of benchmarks you might want to run...

This a very broad range of bench marks for Linux. I hope you find it of benefit.

That is Awesome!
Kinda like a CPUZ and a Benchmark all in one.
I found that clonezilla also gathers all the hardware/software information when you make backup images as a text file.
Pretty cool feature when you want to see your hardware requirements for that computer and you don't even have to turn it on.

They show a graphical interface as well, but I can't figure out if that's an old version or what?

[booman]

I'll have to check it out. Is it in the software manager?

[Daniel ~]

An older version is. I would DL from Phoronix - Link in my first post this thread.":O}
