With the release of Ubuntu 8.10 only a few days away, Phoronix decided to take a look at the performance figures over the past releases - from Ubuntu 7.04 to Ubuntu 8.10. Phoronix used its own extensive test suite on fresh installations, with the same parameters, on the identical hardware. The results are rather surprising. Update: I've added some more information about this, gathered from the Ubuntu mailing list. You can find it in the 'read more'.

Well there is also the fact that they only tested ubuntu. Users who don't know better will blame Ubuntu when the fault could lie with GCC, or the kernel itself.
Phoronix says they will be testing other distros, but really they should've done this before publishing the article.
