With PostMark, our first major disk benchmark in this article, the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS performance with the Linux 2.6.32 kernel and EXT4 file-system completely slaughters the three other operating systems that are all using Sun's premiere ZFS file-system.
Ubuntu/EXT4 again trounced the competition when it came to the Threaded I/O Tester and carrying out four threads of 64MB writes to this OCZ Agility EX solid-state drive.
GraphicsMagick had not run on the upstream OpenSolaris installation, but between Ubuntu, PC-BSD, and Nexenta Core Platform, Mark Shuttleworth's OS performed the best.
