Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix: Battery Power Management Findings

I’ve been running Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix (UNR) on my Acer Aspire One for a week now. And, after some initial disappointment with UNR’s battery life on my 3-cell netbook, I’m happy to report a consistent better story today.

My initial impression based on UNR’s battery icon status information as well as informal battery rundown testing was that I was getting about 70 minutes of battery life after fully charging the Aspire One’s 3-cell battery pack.
