Benchmarks Of The Gentoo-based Sabayon
,----[ Quote ]
| The Gentoo-based Sabayon Linux
| distribution had advantages over Kubuntu
| particularly when it came to the graphics
| performance (OpenArena and World of
| Padman), PostgreSQL, and PostMark while
| Kubuntu had its advantages in 7-Zip,
| Apache, LAME MP3, and John The Ripper. In
| the other tests, the results were very
| close between Sabayon and Kubuntu with no
| clear winner.

Arch vs. Slackware, a friendly comparison
,----[ Quote ]
| As you might know, there are about a
| hundred thousand million billion Linux
| distributions. (For those who donât know,
| the âLinuxâ core is an operating system
| kernel, and people take it and build
| collections of software around it called
| âdistributionsâ, and people install these
| distributions, and then, in casual
| conversation, call the distribution
| âLinuxâ. All this adds up to confusion
| for people who donât already know it all.)

The Phoronix Kernel Test Farm Is Alive
,----[ Quote ]
| The first step of that new endeavor is the
| Phoronix kernel test farm. As of this morning,
| the first system -- of hopefully many to come
| -- is online and operational. At least one
| more system should also go online this week in
| time for the Linux 2.6.33 merge window. These
| test systems are to automatically install the
| latest Linux kernel every morning (using the
| code from the Linus Git tree) and then they
| spend the day running benchmarks. With the set
| of tests currently being run, the testing
| process for each kernel every day runs for 13
| to 14 hours! There are more than 50 tests
| being run through the Phoronix Test Suite and
| they include multiple disk, ray-tracing,
| computational biology, server, compression,
| audio/video encoding, physics, cryptography,
| and tests representing many other areas of
| interest. Results are then uploaded to
| Phoromatic automatically from this Linux test
| farm (temporarily being built out of my living
| room, actually).
