This question may have been asked before, and I apologize if it has, but my friend has a problem with battery life on his laptop. He only gets about fifty minutes to an hour in Linux, while in WindeXP, it's more like two hours. One thing I notice in Linux is that there's a lot more HD useage going on. Could this be because of the ReiserFS that's on there now?
He's coming over Sunday so I can install SuSE 8.0 (to replace 7.3) and I noticed XFS is one of the options. I know from personal experience that it is faster than ReiserFS, but how good is it on the batteries, or is the filesystem even the problem?
