Very interesting tool!!! I just compared ArchLinux vs PCLinuxOS both OSs have the same scor in System Responsiveness (7). AFAIK, ArchLinux is known as the fastest binary distro. Is PCLinuxOS in the same league?

Would be useful to se more distros (Slax, Wolvix, Mepis, etc.) in this tool.

it depends on the system - could be f8,f10,f12, nonexisting - f or the blue green red white key. Please be aware of diversity - your comments can lead non-pros like you to confusion

I’ve been using linux virtually everyday for over 10 years. I’ve used a lot of distros over that time including Slackware, Red Hat(Fedora), Free BSD, Mandriva(Mandrake), Debian, SuSE, and others. I always come back to Mandriva, though. I generally run it in console mode and have little to no problems accomplishing what I want to do; and isn’t that the point? I briefly tried Ubuntu and found it similar to versions I had already tried. It was ok, but overall I was left unimpressed. I like Mandriva’s ease of use and very UN-Windows like behavior ( i.e. it does what I want it to do the first time ). I like having MCC in both X and console modes. I love the third party and propietary compatibility right out of the box. Mandriva recognized my NVIDIA card, wireless network, sound card, and *all* my other hardware right out of the box. No searching for drivers. The Plug-n-play support is phenomenal. Hell, it even recognizes my iPod and Logitech game controller (Open Arena anyone?).

To all the Gentoo fanboys (and fangirls) out there, all I have to say is this: Shave the caveman uni-brow, drop the club and get with the times. I can point and click my way (even in console mode) and get things done a helluva lot faster, more efficiently, and better than you can with all your hand-cramping typing out everything. I can use the same console commands you can and then some. My box is more secure than yours. My box is faster than yours. Gentoo is outdated and out-classed by nearly every other distro out there, except maybe Slackware. It’s the 21st century. Did you miss the memo on that?

Please update this board. It is an awesome tool to review and compare Linux but it is out dated.

PLEASE - I need to decide between Xandros 3 pro and Ubuntu 9 on an ASUS EEE PC 1000HE…I already know the data above is OLD!
