Mac OS X 10.5 vs. Ubuntu 8.10 Benchmarks
The alternative OS gurus at Phoronix have pit
Apple’s OS X 10.5 against Ubuntu 8.10 in a battle to the death. Two go in, one comes out (
not really, it just sounds cool to say that). We’ve spent 30 days with
Mac OS X as well as
Ubuntu so I think we are qualified to say the results of this comparison are a bit surprising. Hit the link and check it out.
In our performance exploration of Ubuntu we now have additional tests to publish this morning. This time around we're switching out the hardware we're testing on to Intel's newer Core 2 series and we're comparing the performance of the x86 and x86_64 editions of Ubuntu 8.10 against Apple's Mac OS X 10.5.5 operating system.
