Benchmarking Meego

Meego is a netbook operating system drawing from Intel's Moblin and Nokia's Maemo. Meego's performance were tested by Phoronix against other linux distros such as Ubuntu Netbook Remix, Fedora and Chromium OS. It's performance in the Phoronix test suite outshines the others.

It has the fastest boot time at under 10 seconds. Meego is the only one clocking below 10 seconds. It's using the btrfs file system. Canonical also wants to switch Ubuntu to btrfs by 2011, maybe even sooner when it comes out with version 10.10. This should be interesting. Will Fedora 14 follow suit?

The only speck in Meego's test is the OpenGL performance. This means anyone playing accelerated games in Meego will pay the price in speed.

Meego is being developed for devices with small screens. Meego and the other linux distros mentioned here should find their way into your netbooks, tablets, smartphones and even your everyday laptops.

Password Issues On Ubuntu Login

I found myself unable to enter my login credentials when prompted to do so in Ubuntu. I think I might have changed it then forget about it. I've been running the current session for more days than I should have. I forget. So what's the solution to my problem. How do I get in to my system now? It involved getting into the grub menu somehow. I am uncertain as to how to do that exactly in your system. So there's a couple of ways to do it (finger's crossed). When booting at system start, use the esc key or the shift key. The first one worked for me. The timing is key. Wait until the bios banner shows then hit the esc key once. I am using Ubuntu 22.04.4 here. I have a current version of grub. The grub menu will give you options and the one you want is: root. Yes you want root privileges to set the root password. It should give you a terminal access where you can issue commands. Type: #mount -rw -o -s remount / ==> this command mounts the filesyste...

New ZFS Pool And the New 4TB Hard Drive

I am using the new pool for my videos and music. Downloading them using my torrent client, transmission. The old pool is raidz2 and now I am using a raidz1 only. But and a big but I gained space of up to 4.5 TB.

2024 So Far

I have a feeling of moving earth or walking off my itchiness. The growing fat in my belly tells me I am failing on many occasions to give in to this urge. My eyes are blurred by morning glory. I remember my father having the same ritual in the morning. After his weak stroke, he couldn't speak much, just a grunt but he would demonstrate with hand how he liked to wash his face. The weather wasn't helping. It's been raining cats and dogs the past week. The province of Rizal was soaked and spilled volumes of water into the bay and Laguna lake. Our Caimito tree was cut to no more than 4 feet from the ground. It was towering above the corrugated sheet metal of our roof. Now it lay horizontal on the yard. I calculated it could be made into a whole table and chairs set by a talented carpenter artist. I showed Lino the two big pieces of trunk that could only be moved if cut by a power saw in place. The road widening project in San Mateo was in the middle stage. One side of the road ...
