Distros Don’t Drive Development

,----[ Quote ]
| Lots of press and people focus on Linux distributions when they check out 
| what happens in Linux land. This and that distro come in new releases and 
| they offer this and that brand new feature. This is also true of the many 
| linux podcasts. They give credit to distros for new things that pop up.

Ubuntu 7.10 & Fedora 8 Performance Compared

,----[ Quote ]
| The bottom line is with our hardware we had used and these common Phoronix 
| benchmarks, the performance of Fedora 8 and Ubuntu 7.10 was deadlocked. There 
| was no clear winner. If you are trying to decide between taking the Ubuntu or 
| Fedora route, you're best off looking at the distribution's features and what 
| they mean to you.
