Benchmarking The Linux 2.6.24 Through 2.6.29 Kernels
,----[ Quote ]
| With the release yesterday of the Linux 2.6.29 kernel, we have set out to
| explore how the desktop performance has evolved over the past six major
| kernel releases. On a few occasions in the past we have provided kernel
| benchmarks (at one point even benchmarking 12 kernels), but this time around
| we have included nearly two dozen benchmarks using the Phoronix Test Suite.
| How has the Linux performance evolved since the release of the Linux 2.6.24
| kernel back in early 2008? Well, simply put, the Linux 2.6.29 kernel in a few
| areas does pack some serious performance benefits.

Taking Ubuntu 9.04 Out For A Spin
,----[ Quote ]
| The best thing I noticed about Ubuntu 9.04 so far is how fast it is. The
| developers weren’t lying when they talked about speed, this thing is FAST.
| Even though I installed it on an older machine, you wouldn’t notice it
| because even with an older processor, Jaunty is probably the most responsive
| version I’ve ever used.

FOSS Debates, Part 1: Kernel Truths
,----[ Quote ]
| When Linux version 0.01 was first released more than 17 years ago, it
| included some 10,000 lines of code; last fall, the kernel surpassed 10
| million.
|
| Though blank lines, comments and text files are included in that count, the
| kernel's size has been a source of growing concern among many observers, not
| a few of whom charge the kernel has become unwieldy and bloated.

EXT4 is improving the Linux experience
,----[ Quote ]
| In short, the ext4 filesystem made a DE outperform a WM, and that’s something
| special indeed. I’ve been using Linux for over 5 years now, and never before
| has a technology appeared which makes that much of a difference, speedwise.
