Choose a build

The big question is how to choose the right build. This site has a great introduction and says:

Quick script for downloading and running Phoronix Test Suite

wget http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/download.php?file=$PTS-$VER -O $PTS-$VER.tar.gz
tar -xf $PTS-$VER.tar.gz
rm -f $PTS-$VER.tar.gz
cd $PTS
./install-sh
#yum install php-cli php-dom
#apt-get install php5-cli
$PTS batch-setup #y n n n n y y

dpkg -i odf-conv*.deb
vi /usr/lib/openoffice/share/registry/modules/org/openoffice/TypeDetection/Types/MOOXTypeDetection.xcu # and modify this line:

stat -c %y vs.exe | awk '{printf $1 "\n"}'

I found awk one of the most useful tools (almost like grep or sed).
awk treats the input line as a (database) record containing fields, using (by default) the space character as the field separator (but a different field separator can be specified in the command).
Then you can refer to any field of the line using its index ($1, $2, $3, etc.)
Examples:
stat -c %y vs.exe | awk '{printf $1 ":" $3 "\n"}'
will print the first and the third fields on each line, putting ":" between the fields.
stat -c %y vs.exe | awk '{printf $1 ":" $3 }'
