Thanks. :)

HOwever i'd like to get something different. I mean, bogomips are a
measure of CPU performance, but it is an absolute measure isn't it?
Running FC1 or slackware wouldn't really change the measure, no?

I googled a bit and didn't find much about benchmarking normal desktop
usage. Maybe the case is that there isn't still anything.
