Operating System Benchmarks
This article will cover the benchmark reports for the various operating systems on the Asus Eee PC 4G.
Please note: This document is by no means authoritative at this early juncture. It is anecdotal in nature and is only intended to be a helpful reference.
Please add to this page as you install and experiment with alternative operating systems.
!System boottimes are highly depending on the amount of installed programs, as well as Ramsize/speed and Swapfile/swapless !
