7-Way Linux Distribution Benchmarks To Kick Off September

A majority of the tests are just focused on the overall CPU performance with the role of the default compiler and other OS defaults.

With the Parboil benchmarks, Fedora, openSUSE, and Intel's Clear Linux distribution tend to be front-runners.

Scientific Linux 7.2 with its older kernel and compiler meanwhile tend to be slower than these bleeding-edge distributions. Again, for this OS comparison the compiler defaults were respected.
