Thank you for sharing your experience. When talking about Ubuntu's on-demand kernel governor - what are you talking about - the "powernowd" package? > Last but not least, unplug the PC + misc. when going to bed.

Fortunately my Ubuntu incl login is up in about a minute - so no more real need to have it running when not in use. Sometimes (when many apps open) I also often put it to suspend - also saves a lot of power (and I guess more than any other tool can save when running). -- Martin Wildam http://www.google.com/profiles/mwildam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
