Hi chix. I need help tuning Linux to make my laptop
battery live longer. My Vaio used to run WinME
(bleah), and when it did that my extra-big battery
lasted about 6 hours. Now that I've upgraded to Linux,
it runs for about 2 hours. Ack! There must be some
tricks for getting my battery to run longer. 

I'm running RedHat 7.3, with the 2.4.18-5 kernel, and
the Vaio laptop is a 505. It's got a Pentium III chip.

Any ideas or pointers?
