    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.

        Brittney will be jealous. She doesn't like it when you are more interested in the box than her box.

            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) .
            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:

            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.
