Linux Solid-State Drive Benchmarks
(2009-01-04 00:04:31)
Phoronix: "How though does the real-world performance differ between hard disk drives and solid-state drives on Linux? We have run several tests atop Ubuntu on a Samsung netbook with a HDD and SSD. In addition, we have also looked at the encryption performance using both types of drives."
Microsoft on FLOSS
(2009-01-04 04:04:31)

(2009-01-04 12:04:31)

Cyber Cynic: "Google has been slowly, but surely, displacing Microsoft as the number one PC technology company. Google has done it by misdirection.
