At Phoronix we have posted a new article. A link to this from your

site's news section would be greatly appreciated.

Title: Benchmarking The Linux 2.6.24 Through 2.6.29 Kernels ( -at -) Phoronix

Summary: "With the release yesterday of the Linux 2.6.29 kernel, we have

set out to explore how the desktop performance has evolved over the past

six major kernel releases. On a few occasions in the past we have

provided kernel benchmarks (at one point even benchmarking 12 kernels),

but this time around we have included nearly two dozen benchmarks using

the Phoronix Test Suite. How has the Linux performance evolved since the

release of the Linux 2.6.24 kernel back in early 2008? Well, simply put,

the Linux 2.6.29 kernel in a few areas does pack some serious

performance boosts."
