Hello all,

Last question re: basic config.

In windows I can walk away from a machine and the monitor turns off after
a while. A little later the HD spins down, finally the thing goes to
sleep. And when I say "shut down the computer" it turns itself off.

I've heard Linux can also do this, what about FreeBSD? How do I get
started investigating this (is it "APM"? The book seems to imply that APM
is for laptops only. I have a desktop machine but I still want it if
possible)

Any leads would be appreciated, thanks!

Regards, Steve
