Hi, let's get you to a happier place (-: a) apt-get install task-laptop this will give you most of the tools needed to have a happy laptop this includes APM support (power management), anacron, and a few other tools b) join debian-laptop. Just like debian-user, but only for laptop people c) grab the laptop howto by Werner Heuser. Great read and discusses Debian issues as well.
