No, I even stop it from dimming the screen while on battery. The screen's are bad enough normally, never mind making them dimmer. I find my battery lasts about 2 hours on Linux and Windows. I can stretch to 3 hours, if I do things like let it dim the screen (a default feature with Gnome). There are other things that you can do, but I've never measured the results. e.g. Don't use the optical drives, turn off sound playing features in the Window manager, turn down the volume on any sounds that you do want to play, turn off the wireless LAN, avoid CPU intensive tasks, etc. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
