well that wouldn't be very good as its behind a firewall so it wouldn't 
get loaded at all ;)

That will only stress the cpu, and I am not convinced by the kernel 
compiling route, I want to *really* stress test the box, completely flat 
out for 24 hours. I may try running bonnie and cpu burn and some kind of 
memtest all at the same time instead... It looks like there is no evil 
tool to do my bidding... yet...... Muwhahahahaahaa.....
