I don't use Linux at all in the summer, I spend as much time out of it as possible.
And even then, my Linux programs are stuff for programming 99% of the time.

hdparm has been around for quite long (although it obviously can not be used for causing spin-downs automatically) and cpufreq has been backported to the 2.4 series (I don't know how *old* cpufreq is itself, though - what I do know is that there is support for it before 2.6.0). I do, however, find this quite a glaring deficiency in the current kernel for laptop users:Originally posted by Asher
Linux, just in 2.6.0, finally got support for spinning down the harddrive in battery saving mode (
) and supports for throttling down the clockspeed on the CPU when idle (SpeedStep, PowerNow) .
Sleep States ACPI_SLEEP
This option adds support for ACPI suspend states.
With this option, you will be able to put the system "to sleep".
Sleep states are low power states for the system and devices. All
of the system operating state is saved to either memory or disk
(depending on the state), to allow the system to resume operation
quickly at your request.
Although this option sounds really nifty, barely any of the device
drivers have been converted to the new driver model and hence few
have proper power management support.
This option is not recommended for anyone except those doing driver
power management development.This is Shireroth, and Giant Squid will brutally murder me if I ever remove this link from my signature | In the end it won't be love that saves us, it will be mathematics | So many people have this concept of God the Avenger.
