I’ve recently been testing some cool new software on Linux. It claims to be able to save more energy than the standard power saving utilities available on Linux, and in a way that doesn’t negatively impact system performance. The software is Linux-only right now, and runs on netbooks, laptops, desktops and servers. They have packages for Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Red Hat and SLES, all in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
It’s now moved into an invite-only beta phase, and I’d like to invite more people to use it. I’ve already asked some friends if they’d like an invite, and sent one to those that want them. But I’m not going to send out invites to everyone I know without asking first, because I know some people might not be interested, and some don’t like their contact details being shared.
So I’m posting this to say if anyone would like an invite, just contact me with an email address I can send the invite to, and I’ll buzz one over, no obligation.
Once you get the invite and install the software, you can really help out by reporting back technical details about your system. They provide a little utility which sends information like your cpu & kernel version securely to their server. It clearly states what it’s sending before you send the data, so if you’re uncomfortable sending that data, you can choose not to.
Full disclosure: I’m not involved in the company itself other than being a friend of one employee, and a tester and happy user of the products. I get points for inviting people which might result in a prize. You will too if you join. You also get points for submitting the feedback, so make sure you do that!
