I'd like some tools for ubuntu that I can use to test my server, how much it can handle.

Any suggestions? I've used apache benchmark before, but I'd like to try out something else.

(As a side question, does apache benchmark work if I'm only using nginx?)

ab only sends web requests, it doesn't care what the server is that it is testing. However, it only tests one page.

There is perfmeter, siege, httpload, jmeter and a number of others.

httpload is rather nice since you can feed it a series of URLs that will be tested.
