MeeGo Netbook Performance: It’s Beating Ubuntu & Co

“The last time we ran a performance comparison of different
Linux distributions on netbooks was in late November when
benchmarking Chromium OS, Moblin, Fedora, openSUSE, and Ubuntu
Netbook Remix. The results were interesting, but now we have a new
set of Linux distributions out there, so we have carried out a new
comparison. In particular, we are looking closely at how the MeeGo
distribution — which marries Intel’s Moblin and Nokia’s Maemo
projects — is performing now that it has reached version 1.0. Also
in the testing mix are Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04 LTS, Moblin 2.1,
and Fedora 13.

“The MeeGo operating system as a joint project between Intel and
Nokia was announced back in February. An initial test release was
made available in early April, but yesterday’s MeeGo 1.0 release is
the first where they are providing a stable netbook version. MeeGo
1.1 that is being targeted for release later this year will offer
compatibility with touch-based devices like tablets and mobile
Internet devices.”
