Hi folks, I'm thinking of setting up a Intel P4 based desktop PC at home, which will run Ubuntu and may spend long periods of time doing nothing or very little.
I'm aware that CPU frequency scaling can be implemented on certain laptop processors, but wondered what power management stuff is available to me on the desktop. I want to be able to connect to file shares on the computer (which will be part of a wireless network) so I don't want it to totally power down and become un-responsive. What sort of things can I do with Ubuntu to reduce the amount of electricity I use on this desktop, and what kind of power savings would I expect to see? Are there fine-grained methods I can use to power down certain unused hardware after a certain amount of inactivity etc? Thanks in advance!
