Disagree. - Acpi is a useful command-line tool to easily read values of things like battery life expectancy and other ACPI power-related values, without having to dig through files in /sys. - It provides more detailed information than most graphical interfaces that I've seen (but I'd be happy to be corrected). - Its dependencies are fairly light, so it does little harm. - As a command-line tool, it is useful even when no GUI is available (for whatever reason). -- It is easy to love a country that is famous for chocolate and beer -- Barack Obama, speaking in Brussels, Belgium, 2014-03-26 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
