Mike, I'm totally with you. Just because we have other larger consumers of energy doesn't make it is an excuse to forget about everything that takes less. See my "Green" thread. Just because your car/freezer wastes lots of energy does that mean you skip recycling paper and plastic? Studid logic bringing the freezer up. http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33324&highlight=green You can run a "green" server. You need a network card/motherboard that can support wake on LAN. Which does use a small amount of power 24/7. I do have my Server Running with WakeOnLan. Problem is it's not very user friendly because of a few bugs. See thread above. I have made some progress by editing and understanding the "PreventStandby" plugin. I think I know what I need to do now to make it work more WakeOnLan friendly. Basically this plugin is dumb. -- mswlogo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33678 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
