In Windows, when I shutdown the computer, it automatically turns off the power. I believe it's something in the BIOS that allows this as not all machines running Windows do this. Is there a way to make Linux do the same thing? I like listening to MP3's as I go to sleep and would like have it shutdown and turn off the power after 30 minutes so that it is not generating heat and I don't have to hear the fan in the middle of the night.
Thanks, Gerry
