Hi all,
the 4.1.0.0-preview (x2goserver.git master) just received a code patch from Guangzhou Nianguan Electronics Technology Co.Ltd, an open source company in Asia that plans to use X2Go for school setups in areas where electricity is a rare resource. They plan to build cost-effective and energy-effective embedded thin clients running X2Go.
The patch we received adds a feature to X2Go Server called SupeReNicer [1] and it is a tool that hooks into x2gocleansessions. It renices suspended sessions to nice level 19 and renices them again to nice level 0 once they change there status from suspended to running.
Is there any evidence that nicing something actually save energy? I wouldn't have thought so.
