I think that it is better if the fan is used too much than too little. -hv ----- Original Message ----- From: Pablo Soto <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: Sent: Wednesday, April 4, 2012 1:30 AM Subject: Re: Fan control (and power-saving in general) on Dell Inspiron Studio 153x El Tue, 03 Apr 2012 12:09:14 -0700 Joe Emenaker <[email protected]> escribió: > So, I multi-boot my Dell Inspiron Studio 1537 with Windows 7, Debian, > and Backtrack (which is based on Ubuntu, which is based on Debian)... > > Windows 7 gets the best battery life out of all of them.
