Linux Hater's Blog dead, long live the redux E-mail

The article is 10 pages long, and if you’re interested in Linux, it's worth a read.

Part of the conclusion states: “Major slowdowns after Ubuntu 7.04 "Feisty Fawn" in so many different tests certainly weren't what we had expected. This is our first time carrying out an Ubuntu comparison of recent releases on a large scale using a significant number of tests. It's likely the first time such a study has even been conducted.

“The tests that experienced performance losses initially we assumed were due to a regression with GCC but the tests extended beyond the ones built from source to include Java ones that use compiled byte-code and even the PHP-driven XML test.”

Just as there is criticism of Windows, Mac OS X, Unix and other operating systems, there is criticism of Linux too. Not all is perfect in the world of open source, just as it isn’t in Windows or anywhere else.

I’ll keep an eye out for interesting discoveries about Linux through this blog and will bring ones to you that catch my eye.

Linux advocates, lovers, zealots, addicts, fanatics, lunactics, linutics and obsessives are welcome to flame away or post Windows issues they find or hate, it’s what we have a forum for, after all.

I’ll also report on problems I have (or others have reported) with Windows or other operating systems I use, just as I mercilessly blasted Microsoft for the problems it had getting Vista SP1 out the door, something I did over several articles which you can find through Google if you’re interested.

Until then, happy computing, whichever OS you use!
