Mac OS X 10.6.2 vs. Ubuntu 9.10 Benchmarks
,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu 9.10 (with the 32-bit and 64-bit
| wins being added together) had won about
| ten of the sixteen benchmarks in this Mac
| OS X vs. Ubuntu Linux comparison. Mac OS X
| 10.6.2 though had a particularly strong
| advantage in the heavy computational tests
| like Crafty, the ray-tracing benchmarks,
| and PostgreSQL. Snow Leopard, however, had
| performed quite poorly with the NVIDIA
| graphics due to the regression we pointed
| out earlier in this article. Hopefully the
| bug that is seriously hampering the NVIDIA
| OpenGL performance on Mac OS X when
| running at different resolutions will be
| fixed in the near future.

OS x won't run on commodity hardware.
The Case for Non-Free Firmware By Default
,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu comes with a nice application
| called âHardware Driversâ (a.k.a. jockey-
| gtk) for installing proprietary drivers
| for wireless cards and other devices that
| lack open-source support. This is great,
| except when your only connection to the
| Internet is wireless and you have no way
| to download the driver or firmware you
| need. Hereâs why this situation should
| change.

Fedora 12 vs. Ubuntu 9.10 Benchmarks
,----[ Quote ]
| In many of the tests Ubuntu 9.10 had carried
| the lead -- both by small and large margins --
| but the Karmic Koala had stumbled when it came
| to the OpenGL performance, PostgreSQL, and NASA
| NPB. Of those areas, the OpenGL performance is
| the most intriguing with such a dramatic
| difference when using the same exact graphics
| driver from NVIDIA, which we will continue to
| explore and run other OpenGL tests available
| through the Phoronix Test Suite.
