Late last month we published system benchmarks of Ubuntu 7.04
through 8.10 and had found -- at least with the Intel notebook we were
using -- that the performance had degraded with time. This article had
then resulted in benchmarks of Fedora 7 through 10 and most recently
were Mac OS X 10.5 vs. Ubuntu 8.10 benchmarks. In our original article
we hadn't focused much upon the graphics tests and we were just using
ATI's binary driver, but per a request from Canonical's Bryce
Harrington, we have carried out some open-source graphics tests on
Ubuntu 7.04 through 8.10 and we started with the ATI performance.
Check it out at Phoronix.
