How you will check the performance of processor and other hardware resources on linux or other unix like operating systems ? I mean what softwares you use to check the stability and performance of system. If you looks at tomshardware.com, they do most of the benchmarking on Windows operating system and they test these systems basically as a desktop system not as a server.
