=== PCLinuxOS 2010 Runs Against, But Falls Short Of Ubuntu 10.04 ===

Phoronix's Michael Larabel knows that while a bulk of the Linux community is engaged by the release of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS this week, another popular Linux distribution put out its first major update of 2010 a few days ago. PC``Linux``OS, the Mandriva-based OS that is one of the top 10 most popular Linux distributions according to Distro``Watch, is out with this update that bumps their kernel to Linux 2.6.32.11 while still carrying the BFS scheduler, updated NVIDIA and ATI driver support, locale improvements, and much more. Phoronix compiled a few benchmarks of PCLinuxOS 2010 compared to the latest snapshot of Ubuntu 10.04. In a number of the tests, the performance between PC``Linux``OS 2010 and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS were neck-and-neck, but Ubuntu did possess some strong leads in the area of Open``GL performance, Pos``tMark, and Graphics``Magick. The only wins that PC``Linux``OS had over Lucid Lynx were with Apache and NAS Parallel Benchmarks.

## In this section we want to highlight the blogs that are exceptionally well-written and in-depth.
## Blogs tend to make it easy for low-quality content, so be extra careful on what goes here.
## We should encourage bloggers to spread the word, so this section might be a good way to do so.
