    Stress Testing a VPS

    I have just ordered a VPS with THrust VPS, with option of installing various Linux and BSD installs. I am primarily looking to install various OS, Servers(Apache, Litespeed, Lighttpd, ngnix) etc. I was wondering is their any software/script which will help me stress the VPS, so that I can see what combination works better?

    CPU Burn's work extremely nice as well. But your provider might not like that.

    My personal favourite is stress, available under many distributions such as Debian

    http://packages.debian.org/lenny/stress

    This tests low level CPU, disk I/O and memory, so not directly testing things such as web page response speed.

    I am looking to experiment with different settings, configs, softwares etc. I am no interested in knowing the capabilities of the hardware.
