My point was not to try belittle yoper or the benchmarks, but I was merely stating from experience that posting a lot of theoretical results to a community which has a tendency to get fired up about things, can often result in a lot of fighting and put-downs of said benchmarks and a loss of face for the poster thereof. My experiences were from the gaming/overclocking type community so I've seen my fair share of benchmarks and backlashes and zealotry about them. The linux community, although it likes to think of itself as far far above the pitiful ignorant gamer, is not all so different, at least when it comes to bull headed zealotry. Remember all those 'Microsoft is cheaper and better than linux' benchmark type things? The end result of those (at least amongst everyone I've talked to about it) was that said company was full of lies and disreputable - those 'independant' research companies all lost face and microsoft remained the big evil troll it always was. All it would take for the same thing to happen to those yoper benchmarks is some equally fanatic redhat supporter to post some other benchmarks, perhaps of 'real world' tests to debunk them, and everyone would go around saying how yoper sucked because it only posted the benchmarks it won in and ignored the others... whether this is true is beside the point - zealots will always be zealots. So yeah, not attempting to put you down at all, but just giving what I'd like to think is a word of warning. People will naturally be very skeptical about a benchmark done by yoper people and posted on the yoper site.
Why have I reformatted the findings? After spending so much time doing Yoper and even more time implementing RedHat, SuSE, Debian or whatever other distro I work with I wanted to know black and white that what I have done so far was actually the right direction of work.
All in all if this just keeps people off using Yoper, so be it, even though I find it quite odd, especially from a Kiwi perspective a little bit support would be great, after all it is a Kiwi distro. I also find it odd that such a comparison (any comparison is byist) should stop people from using it? Why would that be.
