Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 2 vs. Early Fedora 13 Benchmarks

Given that early benchmarks of the Lucid Lynx were less than encouraging, Phoronix decided to take the latest alpha out for a spin and has set it side-by-side with an early look at Fedora 13. "Overall, there are both positive and negative performance changes for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Alpha 2 in relation to Ubuntu 9.10. Most of the negative regressions are attributed to the EXT4 file-system losing some of its performance charm. With using a pre-alpha snapshot of Fedora 13 and the benchmark results just being provided for reference purposes, we will hold off on looking into greater detail at this next Red Hat Linux update until it matures."

    Seeing as Google is switching to it, I certainly hope so.

    That implies that Time Capsule will do that instead.
    Does it provide a configurable "vibration mode"?

    unless of course it is a windows alpha or beta, then it is blazing fast and feature rich. Sigh....

    Shut up! Don't you know Ubuntu is the ONLY linux distribution that does not require to write kernel modules in assembly by yourself ?

    I'm glad they finally switched to assembly, I've misplaced my paper card puncher and I've been afraid to reboot ever since !
