In windows I can walk away from a machine and the monitor turns off after a while. A little later the HD spins down, finally the thing goes to sleep. And when I say "shut down the computer" it turns itself off. I've heard Linux can also do this, what about FreeBSD? How do I get started investigating this (is it "APM"? The book seems to imply that APM is for laptops only. I have a desktop machine but I still want it if possible) Any leads would be appreciated, thanks!
