8:22 AM EDT 		There have been a lot of arguments in these parts regarding the speed of various distros. It would be nice to use this resource to test those claims on a series of machines and a series of distros. Then at last we could have some hard numbers and specific information on what exactly differs. I notice that Redhat and Suse have signed on but not Ubuntu. The scripts come out in a few days.

Hopefully people seriously comparing distros will attempt to use this.......

There's a vast amount of data on Phoronix, but unfortunately it's scattered over many articles. It would be nice if they put all their benchmarks in one big table.
