- a SD Card for the home directory
- use the busybox syslog daemon instead of syslogd and klogd
- disable the internal USB bus for bluetooth and the fingerprint reader so
	the laptop always can use C3/C4 even if the uhci_hcd is loaded (this can be
	done with unbind in the sysfs)
- dim the display
- use cpufreq
- use a blank screensaver which disables the display correctly
- don't use postfix/exim use ssmtp instead
- under gnome, disable beagle
- use a 2.6.18-rcX kernel and enable alsa-power management
- use a 2.6.18-rcX kernel and use the new e1000 module for more powersaving
- enable wireless powersaving
