Re: [PLUG] Laptop and Wireless on Linux

[JP Toto <viceclown@yahoo.com>]

Other folks prolly know more about this than me but I have recently been 
messing w/ Gentoo linux on my laptop. If you have apm (advanced power 
management) compiled into your kernel then you should have support for 
monitoring it. I know in KDE there are some panels that show your power 
and enable some power saving options. You'll have to check the docs 
because I haven't gotten that for into it yet. Not sure at all about hot 
swap drives, though :-) Good luck.
