Summary: "With the release of Ubuntu 8.10 coming out later this week we

decided to use this opportunity to explore how the performance of this

desktop Linux operating system has evolved over the past few releases.

We performed clean installations of Ubuntu 7.04, Ubuntu 7.10, Ubuntu

8.04, and Ubuntu 8.10 on a Lenovo ThinkPad T60 notebook and used the

Phoronix Test Suite to run 35 tests on each release that covered nine

different areas of the system. After spending well more than 100 hours

running these tests, the results are now available and our findings may

very well surprise you."
