Let's post your necessary Linux apps that you use.
-
Are we talking Linux specific apps? I always use Gaim, Firefox, and OpenOffice, but those are available in Windows too. I don't really have any Linux-specific apps that I have to have.
-
Amarok is awesome.
-
I like beryl...but that's not an app per se...most of the things I need are installed along with Linux.
I am not a heavy/hardcore user by any means though. -
I agree... the "necessary" apps, to me, come with linux already. Firefox, OpenOffice, Gaim... although I guess it's nice to have Thunderbird too.
-
Anyone know of a program to change voltage on Linux?
-
-
You mean the ones that don't come with popular distros?
Remember that all these are available for Windows, and better ones yet for pay.
Banshee (Music Player) - although its very buggy
a Light WYSIWYG xHTML editor - like nVu
Audacity - sound editing -

I meant, NHC, not LHC. Too much physics lately heh. -
you can... but there are no userspace tools to do this.
you have to compile a kernel with the appropriate patch and then you edit a configuration file with your preferred voltages. I did it once and got it running, but I found that the benefits weren't all that great, so I said screw it.

Like BigV and vespoli say, it really isn't worth it. There really isn't an advantage to undervolting, because Linux is not intensive on the processor (most of the time) and excess heat isn't as much of an issue.

Gautam is quite correct... I notice that my laptop fan doesn't run nearly as often in linux as it does in Windows. I can probably go ~30-35 minutes before my fan starts up in Linux... in Windows, it'd take 10 minutes and the fan starts roaring... (keep in mind this is with the CPU underclocked to 800MHz)

I'll see. I came from the world of Gentoo so compiling the kernel isn't that big of a deal.
