Plymouth To Replace USplash In Ubuntu?
,----[ Quote ]
| We've talked about Plymouth now a number of times at Phoronix, which is Red
| Hat's RHGB replacement starting with Fedora 10 and uses newer Linux
| technologies like kernel mode-setting to drive this graphical boot screen. As
| we shared in our detailed analysis of Plymouth it also offers a number of
| plug-ins and APIs for creating some fairly unique visuals. Now it looks like
| Plymouth may make its way into Ubuntu.

Fedora 10 vs. Ubuntu 8.10 Benchmarks
,----[ Quote ]
| In past distribution comparisons at Phoronix, the performance differences
| have been larger than what we experienced with Fedora 10 and Ubuntu 8.10.
| Both the x86 and x86_64 editions had performed nearly identical. In fact, the
| results are so close that it's hard to call a winner in any of the
| benchmarks. There's a few slight deviations in tests like the timed Gzip
| compression and BYTE Unix Benchmark, but nothing conclusive, at least with
| the hardware configuration we had used and the real-world tests conducted.

| Well, that’s what Atomic’s here to sort out for you. We’ve looked at
| distributions at all levels, from the newcomers that need a bit of
| hand-holding, to those looking to get their feet wet with command-line tools
| and new technology, and the Linux kung-foo masters that are ready for
| something truly hardcore.

First look: latest Fedora and Ubuntu betas really shine
,----[ Quote ]
| The developers behind the increasingly popular Ubuntu and Fedora Linux
| distributions announced the availability of new beta releases last week.
| These betas, which offer users an opportunity to get an early look at the

| highly polished and showcase the growing maturity of the desktop Linux
| software ecosystem.

23,000 Linux PCs forge education revolution in Philippines
,----[ Quote ]
| Providing high school students with PCs is seen as a first step to preparing
| them for a technology-literate future, but in the Philippines many schools
| cannot afford to provide computing facilities so after a successful
| deployment of 13,000 Fedora Linux systems from a government grant, plans are
| underway to roll out another 10,000 based on Ubuntu.
