16-Way Linux OS Performance Comparison
Building on our earlier 11-Way Linux/BSD Platform Comparison, starting a new week we're up to a 16-Way Linux operating system comparison. Added in now are results from ROSA, the lightweight antiX distribution, and then the Gentoo-based Sabayon and Calculate Linux Desktop distributions.
Concluding our mass comparison of different Linux (and BSD) distributions from the Core i7 3960X "Sandy Bridge" Extreme Edition system are the results from 16 different operating systems. The new results from this same test system are:
PCLinuxOS 2013 - "Full Monty" and was released a few days ago as a distribution suiting beginners through advanced users.
Sabayon Linux 13.04 - One of the very interesting and worthwhile Gentoo-based Linux distributions to be popular on the desktop.
ROSA 2012 R1 LXDE - ROSA is a promising Russian Linux distribution that's gained attention in the time it's been around. The 2012 R1 LXDE release happened just a few days ago.
antiX 13.1 - This is a lightweight Debian-based Linux distribution designed for old hardware and was already talked about on Phoronix.
Calculate Linux 13.6 - The latest version of the Gentoo-based Calculate Linux Desktop was just released. Calculate Linux is one of my personal favorite Gentoo Linux distributions and it's very easy-to-use and at least provides some sane defaults for testing the rolling-release platform.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
