I have finally decided to installed Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop Edition 32-bit version on my workstation. Only one problem I had was with wireless USB adapter that was not recognized by Ubuntu. I had to use NDISwrapper that enables to use Windows drivers for wireless cards on Linux. I have installed additional required software packages that I need for my work. Workstation is now up and running without any problems.
Simple disk speed test to compare with server:
jan@workstation:~$ sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sde
/dev/sde:
Timing cached reads: 2436 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1218.00 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 460 MB in 3.01 seconds = 152.92 MB/sec
Result for cached results are comparable to server but buffered reads are at least two times worse than server ones as expected.
