Back in August upon the launch of Apple's Snow Leopard we
delivered benchmarks comparing Mac OS X 10.5 and Mac OS X 10.6 along
with initial benchmarks of how Ubuntu 9.10 was running against Mac OS X
10.6. Since that time though Ubuntu 9.10 has been officially released
with various changes since last August and Apple has issued two point
releases for Snow Leopard, now putting it at version 10.6.2. As we await
the release of FreeBSD 8.0 to deliver a larger operating system
comparison, we have carried out a fresh round of tests comparing Mac OS
X 10.6.2 and Ubuntu 9.10 (both x86 and x86_64 editions) under a variety
of tests.
Check it out at Phoronix.
