You dunnot need them, Linux has the feature built into the kernel. I hardly feel
that my notebook run hot when running Linux, but it does when running Win98 with
Rain (another program which does what watefall does, put the CPU to idle when
not in used). Surely in Linux you need to enable APM for this feature to work.
