I won't jump in on the bikeshed about the effects on the electronics. A thing that nobody has mentioned so far is that by default, the system performs a number of functions (via cron) in the middle of the night. If you turn it off, you should check /etc/crontab and decide when to perform the nightly maintenance. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
