Depends whether we've got a hot-water bottle and some rubber tubing
handy at the time or not.  But enough talk of America's most popular

After boot-up type "dmesg" or "dmesg | more".  It's up near the top
somewhere.  On the www.linux.org web site (and probably somewhere in
/usr/docs/ on your machine) there's mention of BogoMIPS and why you
should and shouldn't care about them.

It's nice to know that your DX2/66 is running at 33.55 (like they mostly
do) and that you haven't set some jumper incorrectly and have a machine
with a BogoMIPS of 12.00 or the like.  But once you're happy you can
pretty-much forget about it.
