my son read somewhere that linux does better power management than
freebsd. one specific item being that the cpu scaling is more
efficiently handled.
i don't know much about this stuff so i thought i'd ask here.
1. is there any accuracy to the statement?
2. is cpu scaling a kernel issue? if so

my friend told me that freebsd does it better ;)
anyway it's just been told, somewhere etc.

Simply - install linux, then FreeBSD on same machine and check it :)
:D
ya that's what's important here at least.
anyway - just using hlt instruction greatly reduces CPU power usage even
at full clock. i don't think the difference is THAT huge by reducing clock
multipliers, voltage etc.
because it even caused two kernel panics.
I'm running 7.0-Stable and the hal version is 0.5.11rc2.
In the Gnome control center the keyring manager is also crashing and
the power management isn't starting up (but doesn't seem to crash).
I'm not sure if this is related with the hald issue but it all

Yet I keep hearing a drive spin down and then immediately back up
