I'm running opensuse 10.1 on a small cluster of G4's. The cluster is used only for computation, so I've removed monitors, keyboards etc and have the machines sitting on a shelf. Are there additional powersaving measures I can enable? Will linux put the machines into a "sleep" mode in a way similar to OSX if there are no cpu-intensive processes running? (I notice that the cooling fans never seem to spin down and am guessing that everything is running full-bore).
Are you saying the newer G4 desktops have similar cooling like G5? Maybe the kernel driver just doesnt recognize that the system has calmed down. Its better if you ask this kind of question on linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org
Can you paste the output of /proc/cpuinfo? Need to know the 'PowerMacX,Y' value of your box.
