To the Linux gamer, switching to EXT4 or XFS will not really mean much in the way of improved frame-rates. If though you deal with compressing files often, of the four file-systems tested, the best appears to be EXT4 or XFS. When it came to multimedia encoding, we cannot call a decisive winner. In our GnuPG encryption test, EXT3 was the fastest followed by XFS. However, in the Bork encryption test, EXT4 was the fastest followed by EXT3.

Earlier this year, this writer used a previous release of the distribution to excise a couple of gigabytes of files from an otherwise-locked-down Vista installation, and while it didn’t save the machine concerned from complete reinstall, it did rescue an awful lot of data. It did it with no fuss, utter simplicity and earned a lot of appreciation as a result.Gentoo, build it like Lego.Excelixis 1.0: A new workbenchRed Hat + ClonesScania Expands Use of Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform for Virtualization CapabilitiesRed Hat and SpringSource square up on TomcatRed Hat: Moving beyond ‘rip and replace’Oracle contributes Linux code for detecting ‘silent data corruption’Differences between Ubuntu and Redhat LinuxFedoraUbuntu or Fedora?In most cases, choosing between Fedora and Ubuntu comes down to personal preference, although Ubuntu’s support and package management make it a contender for the best Linux distribution.A Visual Desktop Tour of 10 Fedora ReleasesFedora is without doubt one of the most prolific Linux distributions around.
