Fedora, Ubuntu, Vista Comparison Benchmarks

[Michael]

A French website has compared Fedora, Ubuntu, and Vista with Unreal Tournament 2004, Quake 4, and Enemy Territory. The results are interesting, but I have never heard of this site before.

Would have been more of a proper test if they had used the same fglrx version drivers on Ubuntu and Fedora.

As for Vista, there are known issues with games at the moment.

I would have considered it a great test had they used Windows XP instead of Vista and used the same version of drivers on Fedora and Ubuntu. I know there isn't a whole lot of difference between versions but you need to compare apples to apples on the same kernel base.

It is however, quite interesting anyway.

That's a weird roundup. Comparing a brand new OS to stable Linux distros using games that have been out for a long time. Strange.

Windows Vista vs. Windows XP vs. Ubuntu Linux: There's a new OS in town, but can it compare to our comfy slippers, or even the diamond in the rough?

With all the reported issues with gaming on Vista, I find it hard to believe that Vista beats anything at gaming.

I laughed when I seen that article. I still don't understand how you can "compare" Windows to Linux...
