FWIW, I think "desktop" and "server" are misleading descriptions here. It's my impression that there are lots of servers in production that would also benefit from power savings as a result of tickless. Perhaps "standard" and "performance" would be better descriptors here? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
