Same here. Whenever I install a new Linux release in my machine, I play an mp3 in xmms with the OpenGL spectrum analyzer plugin active. Seeing how well the animation runs somehow provides me with a rough benchmark of the kernel and Xfree performance combo. I also open a lot of windows and graphic files to see how well the graphic environment stands up to this stress. mikol _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
