The First Benchmarks Of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0
The first beta release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 was made available yesterday morning. RHEL 6.0 is set to offer many virtualization enhancements, power management improvements, new security features, many package updates, and even some reported performance enhancements. With Red Hat mentioning this major upgrade to their enterprise operating system carrying "performance enhancements", these claims have now been tested using the Phoronix Test Suite within our labs. There are some improvements for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 to note, but also some losses.
Shortly following the announcement of the first public beta for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0, we began running a fresh set of benchmarks on CentOS 5.4 and Fedora 12. CentOS 5.4 was tested as it's equivalent to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4, but CentOS 5.5 is not yet available as the facsimile to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 that was released three weeks ago. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is largely based off Fedora 12 packages, which is why we tested Red Hat's community operating system. With Red Hat's FTP server running slow today, we also tested today's Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" daily snapshot in this comparison too.
