The question was "Who in their right mind users power saving features on a server OS?". And the answer is "People who run LOTS of servers". That is all. I'm not saying *you* have to run power-saving features. I am saying that there are people who use a SERVER operating system, and who have very good ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) reasons to care about power consumption. People who on the one hand do want infinite CPU power, but still have to balance that desire with the monthly bill for energy and cooling. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
