Re: A1-X1000: Linux Kernel 3.13

Just out of curiosity, why are you running 3.13 (latest kernel) on a linux distribution that is over 3 years old.  Wouldn't it be better to be running Ubuntu 12.04 (latest LTS release) versus 10.04 (a full 2 years older than the latest LTS)?  At least if you're going to be testing the newest kernels.  Just a thought.  Then again, I can't recall if Ubuntu dropped support for PPC or not.  If so, I'd switch to Debian Wheezy.

P.S.  Very jealous, wish I could afford an Amiga One X1000

Just for some giggles, have you tried benchmarking the X1000 vs a run of the mill Intel box?  I'm kind of curious how the PPC matches up.  Granted, you'd probably want to make it even and use the same kernel versions on each.  It'd also be cool to see differences in performance on the PPC between kernels.

Have you ever tested Debian Wheezy on it?  Or any other flavor of Debian?
