1. Introduction

Life is the first gift, love is the second, and understanding is the third. -- Marge Piercy

Though computers can be seen as part of environmental pollution, there are also ways to use computers in a more reasonable manner to help protect the environment. So I have just started to collect some means to do so with Linux.

Some objectives of the howto:

If I didn't provide an URL for a package, you may get the package from Debian or as a RPM package, from your favorite RPM server, for instance Rufus.

Some parts are modified chapters from my Laptop-HOWTO and my IR-HOWTO http://www.snafu.de/~wehe/index_li.html.

The document is intended to be included in the LINUX DOCUMENTATION PROJECT. But though I have submitted it sometimes, it is still not included into the LDP. - Please ignore this paragraph if you have got this text through the LDP finally.

The latest version of this document is available at LiLAC .

Since Wade W. Hampton provided a great amount of information included into this text I consider him as a co-author. Though all responsibility for any mistakes is taken by me.

Please feel free to contact me for comments or questions about the HOWTO. I know this material is not finished or perfect, but I hope you find it useful anyway.
