I am switching most of my systems to OpenBSD as of late. I
only have a personal laptop running Linux left.

I am kind of pissed at Slackware 15 because it eats more
battery power away than its predecesor. Slackware 14.2 came
with pm-utils, which you could use for running power
management scripts. Slackware 15 ditched it for elogind
which simply has no real power management. I am a bit sore
from that.

I know it is a bit of a pety thing to be pissed off about,
but my experience with Linux is that it usually works
better after each upgrade so when the trend throws an
exception it bothers me :-)

Why can't you hum steady along with the 14.2 that has the power
management features that you like?

I did for long. In fact, old Slackware versions have a respectable degree of support after they are replaced by a newer one. Unfortunately, 14.2 was kind of obsolete for what I need to do with
that laptop so it needed a full upgrade.
