Once you have all the reports, we will have to create a chart/list of power usage info..

Hope you like it..The led backlit lcd helps alot..Not quite as clean a look as factory mk3 and up, But with a dark taskbar it's fine...
The led backlit lcd makes about a 20% power savings according to the SWAG test procedure...

I am a certified SWAG test technician. I have held the certification for over ten years..

Terminal is your friend. As a reminder terminal ignores instructions after "#".

Code: Select all

man uname
# gives the letters like -m....I mostly use uname -a.
OVERTIME:
man = Manual
uname = print system information

Code: Select all

sev@se1-CF-30 ~ $ man uname #look at the manual
sev@se1-CF-30 ~ $ uname -a > info.txt #redirect uname -a to file called info.txt in PWD
sev@se1-CF-30 ~ $ ls #check the directory
Desktop    Downloads  Music     Public     Videos
Documents  info.txt   Pictures  Templates
sev@se1-CF-30 ~ $ 
Sorry, got carried away. :) PWD = present working directory

What I did above is use uname -a redirected to a text file called info.txt. (or any name you choose)
Fair for you/ Fair for me.

I can comment somewhat on this issue. It seems that the distributions that load to RAM first seem faster to me, but this is subjective and I don't have an official benchmark.
In other words, MX-14: http://www.mepiscommunity.org/mx
Note, this is a 32 bit distribution, but is very snappy on a 52 GUN, as well as MK4 CF-18 & CF-19.
Of course for now, I am playing with persistence and loading the system using a 8GB San Disk usb drive...

CF-30 MK2 SSD MX-21 Betsy, MK2 Navigatrix, Fundraiser for TbT
