See my post at #10 - the supercomputer needed “only” 29 hours vs. 103 days for the PC. Still, an interesting achievement for the PC but still light years behind the supercomputer.
I did finally get around to installing Fedora 12 (LXDE spin) a couple days ago on both my laptop and netbook and I'm liking it. It is quite snappy - this distro may even (for the first time in my experience) give Windoze a run for it's money - but it's not that snappy.
Well...let’s compare the cost of the supercomputer vs the cost of the desktop...
