Green, power reduction, and climate change are all the rage these days, and the world of computers is not off the hook on this one.

Well, I don't run a server and I don't do 'scientific' tests or other techno mumbo-jumbo, but my laptops seems to have slightly longer battery life with Ubuntu and Vector Linux compared to Vista....Heh! Not so surprising considering the hard-drive light is nearly always blinking when running Vista.
