Thanks for this awesome testing suite. I have really missed good benchmarking software for GNU/Linux.

I hope you will consider a gtk interface for a later update. :)

It would be a good idea a version for several OSs as FreeBSD, Mac, Several MS Windows and others to compare the performance of drivers between operating systems

The only other OSs we intend to support at this time are OpenSolaris and Mac OS X. FreeBSD can come if some developer for it steps up to the plate.

Game in windows? That's just a hobbyist OS. It can't handle power hungry games. It's meant for low end machines to maybe check email and that stuff.
