To set the
thresholds you simply need to enter the following: Code: # echo 20 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/start_charge_thre sh # echo 80 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/stop_charge_thres h You can check the status by using: Code: # cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/*_charge_thresh If you want to have the thresholds set at startup you can just add the echo lines to /etc/...

The AR5001
Atheros chipset has native support. Dropped in and it works. Ron

I use Mint for the most part, but am playing with
Mandriva 2009 on one of my T43s... Will be looking into SuSE and Fedora since I'm curious how they'll work on W500...

The newer ThinkPads, after the R52, do have a Windows key. Mine has one. Interestingly enough I was installing the new Ubuntu on my Linux desktop the other day and I noticed that I couldn't configure the Windows button as I had in the past. It was called Super L before and I set it up to close what ever Windows is on top. This time when I pushed it,
nothing happened.

Yeah, I have a MacPup CD that I carry in my bag almost
everywhere I go. I have never used the distro on a regular basis, but it is kind of cool. If you have 256MB or more of RAM the OS will run totally in RAM which makes it a pretty fast puppy on even older hardware. You can even to a frugal install to a hard drive that has another OS on it without changing the partitions.

I have 9.10 on my T61p in the 64-bit version. It's snappy in 2 GB of RAM just fine and I'm not getting into swap with several tabs open in Firefox and a document open in
OpenOffice.org. Flash 10 64-bit alpha is not really ready yet, so things like Hulu desktop are power-hogs. Running 64-bit is providing no where near the drama that I thought it would.

As sweet as 600X may be, it's ten years old and is likely to have issues running more recent distros... Having said that, I've never used crunchbang so I'm clueless on how it will work on any machine, but... I've ran
SuSE (retail 9.1 at the time) and PC Linux OS (version 2006 at the time) on 600X machines with great joy. Also, try Mint on your R52 and you may fall in love with it all over again...

Interesting, but I'm curious as to why do the frequency steps? The people who do Powertop ( www.lesswatts.org ) seem to think it's more efficient to use an on-demand governor: wake the CPU up, do whatever work needs doing as fast as possible (at full
CPU speed), then go back to sleep.

Chrome OS is probably closer to TiVo than a full
Linux distribution. All three run on top of the linux kernel, but thats about it. I think all three are good at their intended purpose, but definitely not interchangeable
