There are more things involved than simply P=U*I. For DC that may be enough, but for AC you also have to consider the effect of changing the power-grid frequency on efficiency.
Transformers and AC generators/motors utilize in some way the law of induction:
u = d [flux] / d [time]
The faster magnetic flux changes, the higher the voltage generated in a coil.
This means e.g. in a transformer which runs at higher frequency, you don't need that many windings in your coils to get the same voltage.. which reduces price and also might reduce the ohm resistance of the coil, reducing power loss..
Higher frequency can lead to cheaper/more efficient units . (Those things can be quite complicated to calculate.)
When the frequency gets higher, the fast changing magnetic field in the iron of transformers/generators/motors induces currents in the iron (since it's a conductor). The voltage induced rices proportional to frequency.. so the losses rise proportional to f square. Additionaly you have "hysteresis" losses which rise with f too..
So too high a frequency isn't that good either. I heard on aeroplanes they use 400Hz, which is more efficient than 50/60Hz.
Don't want to be the devils advocate here, but afaik (no, i did'nt try the win client yet..) the windows version only run's when it kicks in as screensaver, while the unix clients run at nice 1 all the time.. Which seems a waste to me, when you type in some text in word there should be some cpu time available.. Maybee they need so much memory that it would slow down MS-word too much? Ok, could be that win has that bad Memory Managment that it just doesn't work good while other things are running...
As easy as loging in, clicking on the tigert's kewl logo on the sta^H^H^Hmain menu, selecting Settings->Desktop->Theme Selector, selecting a theme and hit OK? Not that hard. THey did a quite good job in their default config.. Just make shure you don't install that kde crap hehe just kidding.. Only gripe i had is that they don't run sndconfig by default. Why? I don't get it, they have auto-detect for network and gfx card, WTF did they leave the sound out of the default setup? Well i still overall prefer debian, because of apt/deb wipes rpm's ass.. It's just a little harder till you have it running in the nice polished way redhat has by default, but it's worth it.
I haveam expieriencing the runsocks segfault's too.. seems to be a glibc2.1 thing maybee?
It works with debian stable, then i tried redhat 6.0 when it came out (just the get a more informed picture over which distri ist best:) First i thought that runsocks crash must be a redhat thing, but then i wiped RH of the disk and installed Debian unstable.. same thing.. hmmm

Here in central europe it's differnt.. it's more like... "I'll skip the mpeg... I am waiting to see it in the theatre".. (*not*)
That, and then in most places they only show the german version... grrrrrrrr
i agree that installing of cd's isn't really that well thought out.. Back when 2.0 came out officialy, i DL the iso images and tried to set the system up from cdrom.. what a pain in the ass compared to a network install... The reason is propably that all the developers install it directly from the net.. so that works perfect.. while the install from the cds could need some work.

Yeah, but this is called a Mod, not a cheat.

Flamebait? Whoever moderated that down and selected Flamebait... wow.. you need to get some sleep (mee too..) god night.
