From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Anybody used this yet? Will this be the btrfs killer I've been hearing it might be?
Explained in article, likely fixed now. Needs retesting
From the phoronix article it looked very competitive considering it been in official mainline for only a couple of weeks. Was surprise how well it was handling the first SQL tests.

For some things, yes. For other benchmarks, it's considerably faster. In any case, it's not accurate to categorically state that it's "considerably slower," right?
