if you're looking for more than just system benchmarking, you have
quake III, and various other games...

tuxracer seems to be a bit confused, as it was claiming I was getting 500+
fps :)

UT will also benchmark (if you can get it running, which I can't
under debian sid)

there's various other programs like hdparm for drive access, bonnie, etc
