-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Laptops, ergonomics, and batteries

,----[ Quote ]
| I installed Ubuntu 8.10 on this laptop (as a multiple boot option) the 
| weekend before last, and one of the first notices that Ubuntu gave me was 
| that the battery would only charge to 17% of capacity. Score one for Ubuntu 
| over Vista for giving an accurate message.

Ubuntu netbooks will run all day

,----[ Quote ]
| He said they would run for at least eight hours without a charge – a time
| long targeted by notebook manufacturers, as it is considered to be a working
| day. Intel-based notebooks claiming all-day working tend to pack extra
| batteries.

| Hickman was speaking after ARM announced that it is working with Canonical,
| UK commercial sponsor of Linux, to optimise Ubuntu for the ARM platform,
| mainly on the power management and use of the platform's Neon multimedia
| processing.
