== What to test ==
{{admon/warning|Under construction|The site is still under construction. Anything can change before the testday.}}
We'd like to check power management tuning available for Fedora-12.


If you come to this page after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable. You can check whether you save some energy after applying tuning.
== Purpose of this test ==
 
{{admon/warning|TODO|Some text here. ;)}}
