Mounting your temp directories as devices will store the data in your computers ram instead of on the filesystem. This will reduce the writes made to your storage device, which is benificial for flash based systems. You can achieve this by adding various directories to your fstab (/etc/fstab) configuration file:
tmpfs /var/log/apt tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0

The Ubuntu repos have Intel powertop software. The software is a quick terminal based interface providing information about your computers power consumption. The software is designed to report on Atom based CPUs.
sudo apt-get install powertop
Run with:
sudo powertop
Press “w” when the softwasre tells you and your system will self optimize a bit. It recommends operating your CPUs on dynamic frequency mode, but when on battery power its obviously better to fix the frequency at the lowest value. Also reducing the brightness of your screen will substantially reduce power consumption.

I have my desktop wallpaper switching every minute. I think its cool, you may not, but this is how you can do it. Ubuntu repos have the wallpaper-tray app. Install with:
sudo apt-get install wallpaper-tray
Run on boot with a startup session. Viola.

By default the Gnome frequency scaling applet does not vary the frequency of the CPU. If your computer supports frequency scaling then the gnome panel applet can server quite useful. The only requirement is to reconfigure the applet to operate with root permissions:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets

For Ubuntu Hardy and most other Debian distributions.
To install the most current version of AWN first download the files from the development website.
AWN: http://launchpad.net/awn/0.2/0.2.6/+download/avant-window-navigator-0.2.6.tar.gz
AWN Extras: http://launchpad.net/awn-extras/0.2/0.2.6/+download/awn-extras-applets-0.2.6.tar.gz
Your going to need the build dependencies:
sudo apt-get build-dep avant-window-navigator
There are a couple of other dependencies for AWN Extras:
sudo apt-get install libsexy-dev libnotify-dev librsvg2-dev libgnome-menu-dev libgtop2-dev libvte–dev python-alsaaudio python-feedparser python-gnome2-extras
Then unzip the packages. CD into the AWN package first because it is a dependency of the Extras package.
Then compile as usual:
./configure
make
sudo make install
Then do the same for the Extras package. You’ll probably want to replace the gnome-panel with AWN therefore you have to disable the former:
sudo mv /usr/bin/gnome-panel ~/
This moves the binary to your home directory. If you need to access the panel for the reason you can launch it from your home directory:
.~/gnome-panel
Set AWN to start on boot by creating a startup session.
