[And speaking of heat and power consumption, the state of software suspend in Linux totally sucks, and yet it's one of the most important features I can think of. It sucks having to leave the computer on when you don't use it, because it's such a _chore_ to bring it and all the programs up again, especially as session management support sucks too (and there's no protocol it for terminal programs). The hardware suspend support of desktop mobos also tends to be poor, PSU fan still keeping humming and so on. (And I haven't heard of that good things of the Linux laptop support either.) That's one very good reason to use Windows: hibernate. Of course, even better would be if the computer could run on _really_ low power, shutting down all the fans, not using the disks except very infrequently, and so on, but still react to ssh connection attempts etc. ...). Well, at least with 'athcool' I managed to make the system run 10C cooler most of the time.] -- Tuomo
