Linux For Older PC Hardware
,----[ Quote ]
| With the relatively old hardware we had used with our select benchmarks, the
| five desktop Linux distributions tested performed close to each other but
| Mandriva 2008 Beta 1 had taken a surprising lead in some instances. This DVD
| distribution is backed by the Linux 2.6.22 kernel, GNOME 2.19 / KDE 3.5.7,
| and has a variety of other benefits such as NTFS write support, AppArmor,
| Compiz Fusion, a new wireless stack. While Mandriva had a lead in these
| benchmarks and with the SiS 650GX-backed Pentium 4 "A" setup, we cannot call
| a decisive winner and that we had only tried out five desktop distributions
| out of the dozens (hundreds) available.

Ubuntu, Kubuntu, & Xubuntu Benchmarks
,----[ Quote ]
| With Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu each deploying a different
| desktop environment (GNOME, KDE, and Xfce respectively), how
| do each of these distributions compare performance-wise? We
| have taken two systems -- one with dual Intel Clovertown
| processors and the other an AMD Sempron -- and tested out
| each of these distributions in some of our commonly used
| Linux benchmarks to see how the performance truly stacks up.
| In this article we will be presenting part one of our results.

Fedora v. Ubuntu: A Performance Look
,----[ Quote ]
| In this article we have enclosed benchmarks from Fedora Core 6,
| Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft, Fedora 7 Test 2, and Ubuntu Feisty Fawn Herd
| 5. In gaming and desktop benchmarks, which of these Linux
| distributions is faster? We hope to answer that question today.
