When you install linux, do a cat /proc/cpuinfo 

the newer 2.4 kernels actually can tell you the Mhz

Example from mine:

 cat /proc/cpuinfo 
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 6
model           : 3
model name      : Pentium II (Klamath)
stepping        : 4
cpu MHz         : 267.278
cache size      : 512 KB
fdiv_bug        : no
hlt_bug         : no
f00f_bug        : no
coma_bug        : no
fpu             : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid level     : 2
wp              : yes
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov 
mmx
bogomips        : 532.48


this is a workstation i'm forced to work on @ work. :).. it sucks when 
your personal computer is 10 times better than your work computer.
