I doubt OpenBSD was actually designed to save battery.  I think secure
/servers/ are their target.  I think best system is the one you know
best and like best.  OpenBSD has been very comforting because you read
their documentation and you just understand everything.  OpenBSD has
been giving me a strong sense of control, which is what makes software
use pleasurable.  (See Donald A. Norman.)

I don't have VMD actually.  What I could disable (that was enabled) was
a virtualization feature.  It doesn't feel like it's doing much, but
let's until for a few more days.

Alpine. Check it out here: alpineapp.email. Eduardo, the current maintainer is
active from time to time on the usenet group for alpine, and gives great help!

It's written in C, compiles very easily (at least for me), and is quite
"hackable". =)

It's a TUI, right?  I kinda like to compose a message, stop on it, keep
it open, visible, get back to the the inbox, search some stuff, open
other messages, perhaps compose new (quick) messages, send them out,
look at my previous message being composed and continue with writing
it...

So a TUI usually means I must draft the on-going message, get it out of
the way so I can continue the use the application.  For that reason
alone, I think I need a GUI one.

I used to love slrn for the USENET, for example.  I had not discovered
Gnus back then yet, so I would draft one article, look at another, draft
the new one, edit the previous... I did a lot of that at times.  It's
definitely okay, but with Gnus around...

But I'm glad to know that Alpine has been going great.

Ahh... yes. The closest you can get in alpine is "postpone" messages. So I
write, then I postpone it, which means it gets saved in a special folder. I can
then continue to do other stuff, and once I hit "C" for compose, alpine asks if
I want to compose a new message or finish a saved on, and I have then a list of
saved messages. It is a TUI in the terminal, so not possible to have several
open messages in parallel I'm afraid.

I guess another way is to have several open terminals, but then it does feel as
if a real GUI is better for you. I can open several alpine programs at the same
time, but for me, the regular workflow works.

Nevertheless, this idea of showing a menu of saved drafts to continue
the composition is quite a nice workaround.

I run OpenBSD and I believe we don't have programs such as powertop or
tlp around here.  I'm going to look into the BIOS.  There are some Intel
features there that I could disable.  Some virtualization technology.  I
have enabled them and I saw that the OpenBSD kernel notices them.  But I
doubt I use any of that.

That was not the image I had in mind.  I had in mind plugging an
appliance into the outlet on a wall.  I could perhaps take my computer
from my desk and lay on the couch with it while I plug it to the outlet
near the couch.  Then it downloads and uploads stuff (like,
automatically) and then I watch a little TV, say.  It would take a
little while because with my new offline-designed system, the downloads
wouldn't take just a few seconds for USENET and community messages and
e-mails; it would also download a few websites (up to a certain depth)
and videos [interviews, conversations, lectures] and also songs (so that
now I'd have them offline).  So after, say, half an hour, I'd unplug it
and get back to my desk to continue work.  So maybe I'd only connect
again the next day or whenever.

I really enjoyed this picture.

The author used words like connecting your computer to an outlet like a
vehicle that stops by a gas station to pump fuel.

It's probably easier than Gnus, but in my case I think investing even
more into Gnus is the way to go.  I would like it to be easier to use.

There is something similar available for BSD called powermon(1).  As much
as I am a fan of BSD and as much as I bemoan the horrible linux bloat and
linux's move away from modularism, I have to say that in general BSD is
a poor choice for laptops, if only because ACPI support for BSD isn't 
very good.

I don't know how applicable it is to openbsd, but for freebsd, I used this 
article with good results:

Even NetBSD?  (I never tried NetBSD.)  I probably agree with you.  What
I don't like about GNU systems is the quality of manuals.  On OpenBSD,
there's a manual for every driver in the system.  There are the manuals
called intro (for each section of the manual system).

But maybe I should really run a GNU system that can be well tuned to a
notebook such as mine.  It would be hard to say good-bye to OpenBSD, but
perhaps I should only run it on a desktop system.

By the way, I can't find a program called powermon on OpenBSD.  Perhaps
OpenBSD doesn't have it.

The operating system or the movie?  I don't know why the movie
was called that; perhaps Ed Wood just thought it was clever.  It
refers to a plot point, the 9th extraterrestrial plan to destroy
earth.

At Bell Labs, in the 1127 research group, it was something of a
tradition to give things names that were a bit of a joke, and
also gave others headaches.  The original name for "Unix" was
UNICS, as a pun on Multics, for example (and some have claimed
it had a double meaning as an off-color joke making reference to
a "castrated" version of its predecessor, especially given that
the usual pronunciation was aliterative with the word "eunuchs".
I'm not sure I believe that, though).

Anyway, Plan 9, the operating system, was named in a similar
vein after the movie.  There are a few other historical movie
references associated with it, as well: the original window
system was named "8 1/2" (though using the Unicode code point
for the fraction 1/2), in reference to the Fellini film.  In
between the 2nd and 3rd Editions, the working name for the
system at the Labs was "Brazil", in homage to the Terry Gilliam
dystopian cult classic.  While the name was changed back to Plan
9 for the open source 3rd Edition release, a small reference to
this is left in the name of the current window system, "rio",
presumably a reference to Rio de Janeiro.

Addendum:  'Plan 9 From Outer Space' is widely thought to be the worst
movie ever made.  I do hope that this does not reflect anybody's adverse
opinion of Plan 9 OS . . .

Heh; I've got to admit: I've seen it, and I didn't think it was
_that_ bad.  Sure, it wasn't what I'd call a _good_ movie, but I
am pretty sure that I've seen worse.

Is it so bad it wraps around to being good, or is it just flat bad?

Yip.  The overflow flips the sign bit.

Lol!  Let me also take the opportunity to thank everyone for this
thread.  I don't feel like watching Plan 9 From Outer Space, but if they
had a plan to revive dead corpses on Earth, I believe they mean that
Plan 9 could be seen as a way to revive UNIX?  But UNIX isn't dead! :P

"Not only is Unix dead, it's starting to smell really bad."
 (from Rob Pike (author of, "The Unix Porgramming Environment"
	  ...and much of the Plan 9 operating system. :-D)

I've never found the original reference for that quote, for what
it's worth, but Rob has never denied it, either.
