TM's Top 10 Linux Distributions of 2009
,----[ Quote ]
| Daniweb published their list of Top 10 Linux
| Distributions for 2009 and unfortunately I
| and not-just-I didn't agree with his list. I
| don't want to detract from the hard working
| folks on those projects, but some won't even
| run on modern hardware too well. One has
| turned into a specialty distro, although much
| of world keeps ignoring that fact.

The 10 Best Linux Distributions of 2009

| 1. gNewSense - Ever since my conversation with
| Richard Stallman, I've decided that gNewSense
| is the distro that claims the top spot for
| this year. Based on Ubuntu, which is based on
| Debian, gNewSense contains only free software.
| It's also the distro that Stallman himself
| uses--how can you beat that?
|
| 2. Debian - Debian is a GNU/Linux distribution
| that has it all: Great support, unsurpassed
| stability, awesome developers, a huge
| community, dozens of offspring including
| Ubuntu and gNewSense, regular updates, apt-
| get, thousands of ready-to-install programs
| and it makes a great user computer or server
| system.

OpenSuSE, Ubuntu, Fedora, Mandriva Benchmarks
,----[ Quote ]
| We used our standard Intel Core 2 Duo test setup for this four-way
| distribution testing, which is running an Intel Core 2 Duo clocked at
| 4.00GHz, an ASUS P5E64 WS professional motherboard (Intel X48 + ICH9R), 2GB
| of DDR3 memory, 160GB Western Digital WD1600JS-00M Serial ATA 2.0 hard drive,
| and an ATI Radeon X1800 256MB graphics card. For this testing we installed
| OpenSuSE 11.2 Milestone 3, Ubuntu 9.10 2009-07-15, Fedora Rawhide, and
| Mandriva Linux 2010 Alpha 1. The x86_64 build of each distribution was used.
| We then performed all development package updates as of 2009-07-15. For
| OpenSuSE some of the key packages included the Linux 2.6.30 kernel, GNOME
| 2.26.2, X Server 1.6.1, xf86-video-radeon 6.12.2, Mesa 7.4.4, GCC 4.4, and
| used an EXT4 file-system.
