Hi all, I just wanted to collect some general ideas about how to set up a laptop for optimal performance and power savings. Here are a few thoughts and questions, if anyone has any comments or answers please answer !
1) Which Filesystem to use ?
I think the best filesystem for a laptop is ext2. It does not have a
journal, which should mean fewer disk accesses hence less power
consumption. However, it's kind of slow, so I am wondering if reiserfs
with the notail and noatime options would not be better.
2) Which Window manager to use ?
I usually use gnome/metacity as desktop environments, however, I find
them both power and resource consuming, any suggestions ?
3) APM or ACPI ?
I have tried both and can't make a choice, does anyone have any
experience to share ?
4) Which kernel to use ?
I am a bit lost here, I use the gs-sources because of the cpu speed
scaling options, but I do not know if this is the best choice.
5) Framebuffer or not ?
Is framebuffer power consuming ?
That's all I can think of,
Thanks in advance,
Jonathan
