Open Source Power Management Power management is sort of like the holy grail when it comes to laptops and one main reason why power management in *NIX needs work is due to the large variety of laptops in the market. Each with their own unique implementation of ACPI and etc. As such, ACPI will be different in different laptops and that's where the headache begins. Well, ever wanted things to "Just Work" when it comes to power management under *NIX? Well, look no more because we show you the steps needed to get power management to "Just Work".
Open Source PBX/PABX If you didn't already know about the newest kid on the block, Asterisk, I suggest you take time out to read about this wonderful new software based PBX/PABX which rivals even the best of hardware PBX/PABX out there in the market. With loads of features to match, and a very affordable price to match. What more do you want? (More? Well, request it and your wish may come true!)

Ow Mun: I appreciate the notification, There's some interesting stuff, there. I want to give you one heads up. Your .pdf is not very printable - I mean, it prints, but it took nearly 3 hours to print 36 pages on a HP8000. I've seen this before with certain .pdf's, some refusing to print at all. I've never taken the time to find out the cause - I've suspected graphics that stretched the capabilities of the standard because this usually happens on graphics-intensive publications.

Thanks. I hope in time, we don't have to resort to these sort of mails to mailing lists so that ppl know about us. :-(

Okay.. Now this is a first I've heard of. I printed a few copies on an HP ColorLaserJet (can't remember the Model) and it came out in like 10 min.
HP LaserJet 5N also no issues.
Is this a bubblejet? Acroread/Acrobat/xpdf/gpdf?? Would be good to know if it's the printer or the pdf or the pdf app.
What if you print a NON graphic page? How long that does take?
36 pages = 3 hours = 1 hour ~10pages = ~5 min per page??

I'm sorry, I misspoke. The HP8000 is black & white. I printed on the HP4600, an intermediate level business color laser printer. I print pdf's and manuals and long things like this all the time. I just printed the .pdf for Firewall Builder, about 113 pages. I didn't time it but it was under an hour, and that was doing two sided, which I also did with your magazine. We don't use this printer for non-graphic pages - it was bought specifically for doing color graphics. The software was Acrobat, ver 6.

Okay.. I don't know what else to say.
What I did found was page rendering using XPDF or Acroread 5 on a Win Machine is much faster than when I open it on Acroread 7 on my Linux Box.
Not sure if that may be one culprit.
