Benchmarks 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. Software and hardware manufacturers are trying hard to keep power consumption down - while first something for mostly mobile computers, desktops and servers are now part of the effort too. PC World tested Windows Server 2008 and two Linux server offerings and compared their power usage patterns.

So in order to get the same power saving benefits that I get for free with OS X, not only do I need to manually tweak the services that run, remove unwanted features, unload unneeded modules and analyze my power consumption via powertop, I need to roll my own distro!?

Thanks, but I think I'll pass.
