Started over 100 years ago by Nikola Tesla, the concept of transmitting electricity wirelessly is catching on fast. The dominant player is intel, but smaller companies such as Wild Charge prove that there is something substantive and viable making the recharging of devices easier and more convenient. While Wild Charge does not transmit energy wireless it does substantially simplify the recharging process.
Resonant inductance can sync magnetic fields in such a way that power apparently flows, or jumps, empty space. Based on the fundamental properties of inductors and magnetic fields devices that require recharging will not require a direct connection to draw power. A rechargeable device can be situated nearby the power source, and without a wired connection can successfully draw enough energy to recharge the device.
Tesla was a big dreamer and envisioned this type of technology transmitting energy all over the world. He wanted to sync the Earth’s magnetic field with devices; now thats big. Without a doubt he was ahead of his time, and there were and are definitely effects on biological systems. The extend that genetic, and molecular damage can occur is unclear, but without a doubt the concent originated by Tesla is effective at transmitting energy wirelessly.

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.

[Not anymore with the new kernels that have been released recently!! I still like installing the drivers manually tho!!!!!]
The eeePC is a sleek little machine that comes with a linux based os designed for kids. There is no desktop, but a reduced graphical interface with limited modification capabilities. To compensate you can install basically any linux distribution. Most linux distros will require substantial modification, and compilation of various drivers. Ubuntu, and other debian based distros have such a following that many people are making optimized kernel that can be downloaded. One example is array.org that provides a pre-built kernel, but there are some issues with the graphics driver that causes a massive instability on eeePC version 1000. Because of this if you want to use Ubuntu with eeePC v.1000 you either should wait for further development of the custom kernel, or a more well rounded version of eeeBuntu. Frankly I think Intrepid Ibex will have support out of the box for all eeePC versions, but in the mean time I will take the route of a default Hardy kernel with associated custom compiled drivers.
Stability rules, and the only way to achieve this 100% is doing everything yourself. One compilation at a time.
The new eeePCs will come with the Intel® 945G Express Chipset therefore you want a distribution that has a reasonable level of stability. You should definitely take a look at the following page which specifically deals with various linux distros and their compatibility with the Intel driver.
