Yes, it did help. Thank you kindly, Sir.
And apologize for not reading the FAQ ..guess knowing JTR well in windows made
me kinda "forget" that using it in Linux might be different commandwise.

Ok.
Regarding the benchmarks I get on Ubuntu64 ...I find them rather startling 
when comparing to the benchmarks I get in windows:

Ubuntu64>
Benchmarking: Traditional DES [128/128 BS SSE2-16]... DONE
Many salts:     12292K c/s real, 7334K c/s virtual
Only one salt:  11313K c/s real, 6755K c/s virtual

Benchmarking: BSDI DES (x725) [128/128 BS SSE2-16]... DONE
Many salts:     452905 c/s real, 270447 c/s virtual
Only one salt:  453722 c/s real, 270613 c/s virtual

Benchmarking: FreeBSD MD5 [32/64 X2]... DONE
Raw:    109733 c/s real, 65604 c/s virtual

Benchmarking: OpenBSD Blowfish (x32) [32/64]... DONE
Raw:    5042 c/s real, 3010 c/s virtual

Benchmarking: Kerberos AFS DES [48/64 4K]... DONE

Benchmarking: NT LM DES [128/128 BS SSE2-16]... DONE

Windows>
Benchmarking: Traditional DES [128/128 BS SSE2]... DONE
Many salts:     1290K c/s
Only one salt:  1159K c/s

Benchmarking: BSDI DES (x725) [128/128 BS SSE2]... DONE
Many salts:     43444 c/s
Only one salt:  42342 c/s

Benchmarking: FreeBSD MD5 [32/32]... DONE
Raw:    8112 c/s

Benchmarking: OpenBSD Blowfish (x32) [32/32]... DONE
Raw:    492 c/s

Benchmarking: Kerberos AFS DES [48/64 4K MMX]... DONE

Long:   721618 c/s

Benchmarking: NT LM DES [128/128 BS SSE2]... DONE
Raw:    8371K c/s

Why are the linux64 DES benchmarks 10 times better then the windows ones?
Real live decrypting doesn't really seem to be faster - atleast not 10 times 
faster than on windows...
