Getting your computer to use the least amount of power can be problematic. This site provides information on reducing power usage, tips, and tricks for Intel-based computers running Linux*.

Here.

Note: Especially if you are running Linux on a laptop, Intel has released the tool, PowerTOP that helps you find what software is using the most power. By fixing (or closing) these applications or processes, you can immediately see the power savings in the tool. You'll also see the estimated time left for battery power if you are running a laptop.

This looks pretty sweet, Tom. Powertop. I love all the programs that attempt to reap the benefits of the name 'top'. I fell in love with my boyfriend. Then I started using apachetop. And fell in love with it. I'm definitely going to let powertop give it a run for it's money.
