The recent CPUs have a feature which let them scale their operating frequency (changing a voltage power supply input) according to the system/user needs. This way, when the entire processor resources are not needed, the system can greatly reduces the overall power consumption, lowering temperatures and fan speed ;) This post addresses the frequency scaling setup in Linux: enjoy

Electricity bills got higher again? Does your computer waste too many power cycles? Or perpahs you just don’t feel green enough? In any case, this article is for you! You’ll learn how to save energy and CPU cycles with your Linux box, no matter how old it is.

Most trends in the open source market come down to one word. Scaling. To stay worthwhile a project must grow. It must attract new developers, new community members, and new money. It must scale in complexity and functionality.

Tony Luck offered some statistics focused on the frequency of developers that only contribute to the Linux kernel one time

One of the great things about using open source software is the frequency with which bugs are fixed, security holes are patched, and new features are added. Ubuntu includes a very convenient update manager but constantly upgrading your system can be a burden. This guide will explain howto customize the manager to run less often, or automatically install updates.

Fedora or Ubuntu? That is a question that Linux users are asking with increasing frequency.

Running at a 1Ghz frequency, it is capable of playing 720p video and run basic 3D applications. While Android isn't ready for Netbooks yet, this Pegatron runs Ubuntu (Linux) just fine.
