You want to compare different hardware plattforms with FC1 installed or
a comparison between different Linux distributions, even compared with
Windows[tm]?

Just as a fast shot:

1) disk performance: hdparm -tT /dev/hdX (with limitations valuable)
   bonnie++ (noisy output)
2) CPU performance: grep bogomips /proc/cpuinfo (you may know :)
   run kernel compilations with "time make"; run the SPEC
3) graphics: glxgears
    is 3D performance really relevant? just for gaming IMHO
4) DM: don't think there are benchmark kits out for testing Gnome/KDE
performance; choose decent applications and measure time for coming up,
run several times due to caching effects
