[LUG] Power Consumption

 

During the past few days I've been installing various distros on my "mature" 
Acer Aspire laptop.

Today I installed Debian Lenny and found that not only does the fan run all 
the time but that it consumes nearly 30 watts more than other distros with 
the KDE running.

Any ideas why?
