That was my impression from reading the project website. I'll
probably wait for it to get a little mature before I try it. Either
that or wait until I upgrade to woody.

Unfortunately my BIOS seems to support only ACPI, not APM. The bad
news is that there's no way for me to check how much battery life I
have left. The good news is that the BIOS does handle sleep and
hibernate perfectly. Lots of APM users seem to be having trouble with
that.
