It's A Week Until 2.0 Sandtorg Is Released

,----[ Quote ]
| Last week a detailed guide to Phoronix Test Suite 2.0 was published and it 
| was mentioned that this major update to our testing/benchmarking software 
| would be released in less than two weeks. This afternoon we are formally 
| announcing that Phoronix Test Suite 2.0 "Sandtorg" will be released on the 
| 4th of August. Tomorrow we will also be announcing PTS Desktop Live 2009.3 
| (codenamed "Gernlinden") and this new Linux distribution will also be 
| released next Tuesday.

Do Linux Benchmarks Have A Leg To Stand On?

,----[ Quote ]
| Different distros typically run different versions of key software, and this
| case was typical. While three of the distros installed the EXT4 file system
| by default, for example, a fourth -- Mandriva -- uses EXT3. To some extent,
| these differences make exact comparisons very difficult, although
| benchmarking can still provide useful information about general performance
| trends.
|
| Or can they? Perhaps that's a debatable point.
