I think you mis-interpreted the double negatives there. I was saying that Linux has always used HLT. The only system I'm aware of that doesn't use it properly is MS-DOS, although the main problem in achieving power saving is Windows applications that think they the only thing running, so use spare capacity to speed up their interactivity. They are becoming uncommon, though. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
