Ubuntu 7.04 to 8.10 Benchmarks: Is Ubuntu Getting Slower? Posted by : Nohr on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 - 04:47 AM

"With the release of Ubuntu 8.10 coming out later this week we decided to use this opportunity to explore how the performance of this desktop Linux operating system has evolved over the past few releases. We performed clean installations of Ubuntu 7.04, Ubuntu 7.10, Ubuntu 8.04, and Ubuntu 8.10 on a Lenovo ThinkPad T60 notebook and used the Phoronix Test Suite to run 35 tests on each release that covered nine different areas of the system. After spending well more than 100 hours running these tests, the results are now available and our findings may very well surprise you."

"We have been a fan of SabayonLinux for quite some time, so we could not pass up a chance to tinker with their heavily anticipated new version. In addition to updated software, 3.3 brings about a new color scheme. It's also touted as being more stable, so let's put it to the test."

"We took a look at Sabayon 3.0 a few months ago and were greatly impressed. The developers haven't taken a break since that time, and now 3.2 is upon us. We are diving in heads first to see what's new and what's been updated."

Intel's Core 2 Under Linux Posted by : Nohr on Friday, August 25, 2006 - 05:03 PM
|
|
 |
| |
"By now, you've probably heard that Intel has a new chip out that went by the code-name “Conroe” but now goes by the names Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme. So while you may have read about how great these chips are under Windows, I bet you have heard little to no news about Linux performance or even Linux support. As usual, this is where Linux Hardware comes in to fill in the gaps."

"Ubuntu Linux 6.06 LTS (aka The Dapper Drake) adds a fast graphical installer, simplified menu organization, and Gnome 2.14.1. Can this free distro compete with software that costs money?"
