Thank for the suggestions Trilug, they were all great! I think we
will go with Bret's script file as it follows the KISS principal(and
does not need a hard drive, swap space or X11). I also forwarded the
SETI and the benchmark link for their consideration.

I ( brett) likes jasonlf's suggestion of using
md5sum /dev/urandom
instead of `md5sum /proc/kcore'. reasons:
1. it doesn't run out. -- you don't have to keep calling a script
to keep it
running, and it's easier to control the number of processes (
sometimes my
script might have less/more than 4 calcualting processes).
2. you don't have to be root -- read access to /proc/kcore requires
root access.
His is a better suggestion.
good luck.
