Last year we provided benchmarks looking at Ubuntu versus Mac
OS X when it came to using the latest releases for both software

other areas Canonical had the advantage. Since that article back in
November, Apple has released a minor update to Leopard (v10.5.6) and
Canonical last month released Ubuntu 9.04. We have already looked at the
performance of Ubuntu's Jaunty Jackalope, and even found it to perform
with old hardware, but how does it now compete with Mac OS X? We have
more benchmarks this morning to continue this performance investigation.
