Oh no jim. It's not that. I like Ubundu. But here we are familiar with CentOS (as server) and no one is familiar with debian family. If it is for me alone , sure , i ll use ubundu.
And now onward we starting using it as Desktop box.
Now , The main requirement:
It should not make them to tell the admin that the system is slow..!!
and it will be better if it use less memory. [Actually I don't know how to set the linux box to make the system fast , which ever OS it is..

BBOX(1) BBOX(1)
NAME
bbox - prints out the bounding box of a rawppm or rawpbm image
SYNOPSIS
bbox [ -l ] [ -r ] [ -h ] [ -V ] [ rawpbmfile ]
DESCRIPTION
bbox reads a rawppm or rawpbm file and prints out the bounding box of the image (as postscript comment and in postscript points, i.e.
1/72dpi) as well as the high resolution bounding box. Input is read from standard input if no filename is specified. Example output:
%%BoundingBox: 12 253 829 837
%%HiResBoundingBox: 12.500000 253.000000 828.500000 837.00000
bbox has only very limited memory requirements as it reads the input line by line and thus needs to store only one picture line in memory.
OPTIONS
-h | --help
Show summary of options.
-V Show version of program.
-r resolution of picture in dpi
-l loose bounding box (integer bounding box is expanded by 1 point, hires bounding box is expanded by 0.5 points)

bbox was written by Roland Bless.

Special thanks goes to Michael Sharpe from UCSD who suggested a lot of improvements for bbox to become more precise and robust, especially
for small drawings.

BUGS
Though the code is quite small and the probability for bugs is now small, there may be some left somewhere between the lines. In case you
find one, please send a short description with bbox version number to <roland@bless.de> (please allow some time to reply).
