my son read somewhere that linux does better power management than freebsd. one specific item being that the cpu scaling is more efficiently handled. i don't know much about this stuff so i thought i'd ask here. 1. is there any accuracy to the statement? 2. is cpu scaling a kernel issue? if so, does this mean that the linux kernel has coding in it which deals with the scaling better? 3. are we comparing simple default kernels? can the fbsd kernel be recompiled appropriately to match or exceed the linux one? -- In friendship, prad ... with you on your journey Towards Freedom http://www.towardsfreedom.com (website) Information, Inspiration, Imagination - truly a site for soaring I's
