Going to be running Slackware on my laptop what are the things I need to worry about


I have a gateway laptop I don't have all the spec's but from what I remember

AMD Turion 64 X2
Nvidia Geforce go 6100 (nvidia says that it will be supported in the 9xxx series of drivers)
80gb IDE Hard Drive (60gb - Winfows XP/Vista, 1gb - Linux swap, 16gb - Linux root)
some sort of wireless card that is supported by Linux
Sigmatel audio card (still can't get it to work but I think it is supported in alsa 1.0.12)
nforce 4 stuff (this stuff is all supported in 6.17 series of the kernel)

I've been doing some research but I have no idea where to start to make all the power saving features work. I'm going to be using kde, if you need to know that. Thanks in advance.

~Andrew~

P.S. just in case I confused anyone I would just like to know how to make all the power saving features work, and if possible how to do it for slackware 11
