Title: Ubuntu 64-bit More Competitive Against Mac OS X ( -at -) Phoronix

Summary: "Last week we published Ubuntu 9.04 vs. Mac OS X 10.5.6

benchmarks where we compared the performance of these two popular

operating systems on a Mac Mini. With the OS X kernel currently being

32-bit but with support for 64-bit applications, we had used the 32-bit

version of Ubuntu 9.04. In a majority of the Leopard operating system

from Apple outperformed Canonical's Jaunty Jackalope, but today we are

adding in the results from an Ubuntu 64-bit installation. As you can see

from the results, the x86_64 version of Ubuntu Linux is more competitive

against Mac OS X 10.5.6."
