Re: Forcasts, why won't anyone believe them?

Yes, but is it *really* measurable? I mean, are we talking a difference of more than a watt (in a machine that already pulls 80 to 120 watts)? 1% difference in power consumption could be related to someone passing wind in the building on the same power grid.

So, a busy Linux server generates more heat and uses more power than an idle Linux server.

I think FreeBSD does the same; I don't know about other OSs. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
