Guess that means NT doesn't use the halt instruction either. The only time my 701 runs as hot under Linux as it does under W95 is if I'm running a processor-intensive process (pegs the CPU usage at 100%). I also get a little more battery life under Linux than under W95 (about 2:30 vs. 2:10). -- John H. Kim kim@mak.com
