How does Linux-based virtualization really compare with VMware& MS Virtual Server?

09/21/2007  
Relevance: 9.20
Lately, there has been a lot of attention in the industry on the current (and future) virtualization products from VMware and Microsoft. However, the latest Linux distributions from Red Hat and SUSE now also include full range of virtualization capabilities based on the Xen hypervisor. How do they compare with VMware and Microsoft's offerings?

Comparing Linux USB flash disk distros

05/22/2008  
Relevance: 8.39
The recent success of the ASUS Eee PC has shown that running Linux from flash memory is now commercially viable in the consumer market. If you don't have an Eee PC, you can still run Linux from a humble USB flash disk, which will hold not only Linux but also your data. Several Linux distributions run from flash; here's how some of them compare. Some Linux distributions, such as Mandriva Flash, are specially designed to work from flash devices. Some provide installers to get them onto thumb drives, while others can be coerced onto a USB flash drive with some simple modifications. I tested five Linux distributions -- Damn Small Linux (DSL), Puppy Linux, Pendrivelinux, Ubuntu, and Mandriva Flash -- to see how they fare running from a flash disk.

Ubuntu, Kubuntu,& Xubuntu Benchmarks

Relevance: 8.15
With Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu each deploying a different desktop environment (GNOME, KDE, and Xfce respectively), how do each of these distributions compare performance-wise? We have taken two systems -- one with dual Intel Clovertown processors and the other an AMD Sempron -- and tested out each of these distributions in some of our commonly used Linux benchmarks to see how the performance truly stacks up. In this article we will be presenting part one of our results.

LinuxCon Day 2: Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics: Linux has Arrived.

As a society, we are all about numbers -- How much, how far, how fast. In IT, it is all a numbers game. Teraflops to compare computing power, TPC results to compare databases, analyst numbers to compare penetration -- We are all about the numbers. And as a wise man once said, there are lies, damn lies, and statistics. And after sitting through not one but two presentations about the numbers, I am more convinced than ever that numbers are best left to the accountants.

4 Educational Linux Distributions

08/03/2010  
Relevance: 7.02
As you may know, the Linux and open source community provides a wealth of free operating systems (OSs), called distributions, and software applications. Some are desktop distributions for general-use in the office. However, there are many distributions designed for particular uses. Today, we'll review 4 different desktop distributions specifically designed for educational and academic use.

Retouching photos (1/2)

07/20/2010  
Relevance: 6.94
In this post, I compare the facilities to retouch photos in both digiKam and Aperture. Since for both packages there are plenty of options to retouch your pictures, I decided to split the post up into two different posts. In this post, I address where to find the tools and some the quick and easy retouches and how the editing works in general. In my next post, I will discuss the more advanced options, compare the tools available in either application has and say a bit on how they behave. As usual, I start with Aperture and then compare to how digiKam works.

Picking the right Eclipse distribution for you

Relevance: 6.84
Which Eclipse distribution is right for you? Compare the CodeGear JBuilder 2008 Turbo trial version, nexB EasyEclipse, Europa bundles, and Innoopract's Yoxo On Demand distros. Many of these Eclipse distributions already contain the plug-ins and tools you need to start working right away.

Five things every Linux distribution should do

03/30/2009  
Relevance: 6.80
The search for'Active' distributions on distrowatch listed 296 distributions as of today. The explosion in the number of distributions increased the chance of getting a more personalized Linux but this resulted in lack of standards among the distributions as every distribution started using different package management/hardware detection/configuration tools.

Face off: Windows vs Linux real world RAM and disk tests

07/22/2008  
Relevance: 6.77
Forget fear, uncertainty and doubt. How do Windows Vista and Linux really compare against each other? It's one thing to talk about the familiar applications available to Windows users contrasted with the rich suite of free open source apps for Linux, but something totally different to actually compare the loads of the two operating systems as they perform functionally identical tasks.

PCBSD 7.0 ScreenShots, Professional and Clean but can it compare to current Linux Distributions?

10/09/2008  
Relevance: 6.70
This is Linux Dynasty's first review of any BSD flavor out there. Now I'm pretty new to the BSD scene, so I will not talk much about this distro except for the fact that it was quite easy to install and the installer looked quite professional. I personally have much to learn about BSD's port system, well BSD in general! I might give it a whirl but not probably with PCBSD. I do want to use OpenBSD but as a server system and maybe try FreeBSD for my desktop ( We will see what happens ).
