It has been no secret that we have been working to create our
own Linux distribution that is designed to run off a Live DVD/USB device
and would provide a standardized free software stack for running
hardware benchmarks whether you are a computer review web-site like us,
an independent hardware vendor interested in seeing how well their
hardware performs on Linux, or just a hobbyist wishing to compare your
system's performance against that of your friends. We first shared our
plans for this a few months ago when talking about driving Linux-based
benchmarking with Sandtorg (a.k.a. Phoronix Test Suite 2.0). We also
briefly mentioned this Linux OS again last week when providing a
detailed guide to Phoronix Test Suite 2.0, but today we are formally
announcing PTS Desktop Live 2009.3 (codenamed "Gernlinden"). PTS Desktop
Live is being released as a free download in tandem with the release of
Phoronix Test Suite 2.0 on the 4th of August.
