Hi, guys! I'm considering adding powernowd to the server seed, which means that it will be installed by default on server installs (unless you choose the minimal install method located in the "Modes" menu (press F4 to see it at the bootsplash)). If the installed kernel supports the ondemand scaling governor, powernowd's init script simply tells the kernel to use that. If for some reason the kernel doesn't support this, it falls back to the userspace governor, spawns a daemon that monitors cpu usage and adjusts cpufreq accordingly. The win, of course, is that you'll save power, money, and the rain forest. :)
Unless anyone objects, I'll file an FFe for this change, or at least queue it for Intrepid+1. -- Soren Hansen | Virtualisation specialist | Ubuntu Server Team Canonical Ltd. | http://www.ubuntu.com/
