Another point of my general unsastisfaction is related to power-management for laptop. You know, this kind of stuff is all managed by the Linux Kernel. It has nothing to do with which Distro you are using.
You seem to be laboring under the false impression that there is significant differences in deep system internals based on which distribution of Linux you are running.
That is simply not the case. This is not a Ford VS Chevy situation. Its Milk in Plastic Bottles vs Milk in Paper cartons.
If anything LinuxMint is behind the curve on almost everything they package, as reading the specs would tell you.
Hi John,
I am pretty curious to repeat the power-management tests on Mint-15. I agree with you about the comparisons, but probably kernel selected in Mint is compliant with the features I expect regarding power management when using laptop battery powered.
If not, then it means that Linux is still a "server tailored O.S." and in this case I am sorry to have just a M$ Windows alternative to get this feature working.
Cheers, You have a choice of 6 kernels in openSUSE -(?)5 more than elsewhere.
Where do you find them? In YaST Software Management.

Hi Basil,
Do you know if any of these 6 kernels provide a real working power-management and Bluetooth stack to be used with a laptop?
Thanks.
Cheers,
No, I don't but someone here must or will know. I have desktop computers so the kernels I install are kernel-desktop. But for a laptop perhaps another kernel is more suited ((?) kernel-default?) which is why I mentioned that there are 6 versions of the kernel available - including one called kernel-vanilla.
