G5 is lots faster than P4? This is so obvious to even the most clueless home computer user! I mean, come on, how can a P4 possibly compete with a G5? The G5 is clearly 1 ahead!

Can slashdot please tell us something that's not common knowledge? I mean geez, next the'll be like: Saddam Masterminded 9/11. Well no duh!

You can't even download all the KDE packages in 15 minutes.

You can if you download all the languages.

"This one goes to 5!"

a gentoo user is claiming incomprehensible performance boosts due to foo! film at eleven!

"You only compile Mozilla once."

You're not a Gentoo user, are you?

I installed 64 bit HP/UX on my Pentium 4. It only took me one HP/UX CD and a dab of epoxy but it installed nicely on the computer. I am sure someone could do the same with a G5 and a 64bit AMD distro, although a Mac person would probably do a much nicer job since they are more artistic. They'd probably frame and mat it in a nice shadow box with some pretty flowers or colored macaronis.

Your comment reminded me of this [bash.cx] bash.cx quote.

fastb - lol apple have the g5 out. its must be slower than the p4 because they have so many more revisions to get through! next up is h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 then i1, i2... up to p1, p2, p3, p4! LOL!

kev[0] -I just read that three times and I think I'm dumber for it.

I mean, is that or is that not the vaguest bloody headline you've ever read?

"Linux is fast on a new fast computer"

I mean, come on...

I guess my submission was rejected... "Gentoo is slow on an old G3"

not only does the disk have to spin on average 1/2 way around to get the head positioned over the file proper, but it needs to do this potentially multiple times beforehand while searching through inodes just to locate the file!
*gag*

Don't worry. Your benchmarks are as useless as ours.

You clueless dolt! The P4 is faster than the G5. P comes after G, and is clearly 9 letters ahead!

Actually, the real test will come when somebody measures how fast this thing can copy a 17 megabyte file from one folder to another.

yeah -- they didn't find aliens either.

But does it have Dubly?
