Hi,

Yes, we intend on running the same tests on Fedora from the T60. Other 
distributions may be added depending upon time constraints and the 
results from Fedora (10 Snapshot 3 through probably FC7). Other hardware 
(including x86_64) may also be used in additional Ubuntu comparative 
benchmarks.
