Just wondering if there is any benchmark software that I can download that will run on both Windows (preferable Windows 7) and Linux (Ubuntu 9.10)? I have a brand new system and I’d like to run some standardized benchmarks with Ubuntu and also with Windows 7. The Passmark Performance test only runs under Windows.

It depends greatly of what your metric is. “Back then when” we worried more about integer vs floating-point performance the dhrystone test was popular. It will test the ‘ecompiler + os’ combination, but say nothing about graphics, or disk, or other aspects.
Wikipedia also has number of other open source benchmarks listed you could try.
