At home I use for work a rather old PC (for 9 years yet). It has Celeron Mendocino 433Mhz CPU, 192Mb RAM, Asus P3BF motherboard, two 80Gb hdds, and Asus Nvidia TNT Riva2 with 16Mb onboard video RAM. There are 2 systems: GNU/Linux (currently Slackware 12) and win98. But everything works fine - even DVD video in Mplayer and rendering in Blender. Of course I have to tune up my Slackware (recompile kernel, tune swap usage, and do a lot of that tricks invented by Guru-users).
While booting, my system shows 860 Bogomips. Using zerotest.exe from boot msdos floppy I see 21 million operations per second.
Who can tell me - is there any overall system performance utility for GNU/Linux? Smth like Everest in winxp?

For monitoring : conky? gkrellm?
NOTE: I have no idea what everest is or what it does.

Everest, as they say, "system diagnostics and benchmarking solution"

gkrellm is good for system monitoring, I was asking for some benchmarking tool (оr manual method) in order to check overall system performance after tuning smth.

In 32bits systems I used Super-PI.

see if sys_basher can test / give you what your wanting
