Ubuntu 7.10 & Fedora 8 Performance
 

Back in March we had compared the performance of Ubuntu and
Fedora as we tested Ubuntu 6.10 and Fedora 6 along with development
versions of Ubuntu 7.04 and Fedora 7. During those benchmarks, Ubuntu
7.04 Alpha 5 had a slight lead over Fedora but the race was extremely
close. In August we compared Ubuntu and Fedora again along with Xubuntu,
Mandriva, and SimplyMEPIS, but using older PC hardware. In these
benchmarks, the results were also close but Mandriva was the leader. Now
with the release of Fedora 8 last week, we have run a new set of
benchmarks comparing it to the month-old Ubuntu 7.10.
