Just my opinion, but I am not convince that a personalized icon is necessary.
Finally whatever your netbook and the used utility (Jupiter, eeecontrol...), is it not better to have the same icon? So a generic icon can be justified too. It is a little bit the spirit of the MeMenu (first function ...

Apparently it assumes 90w of power consumption.
It is possible to scale the results using a personalized value.

Does anyone know the power consumption of a NC10 in full state (CPU, screen 100%...)?

I have installed powertop.

Hello,
Voria => Nice to see a new configuration manager dedicated to Samsung's models. Congratulation on your works.
Euri => I will continue to use Jupiter, nothing currently exists that competes. The major advantage is to resume many applets into one. It's not perfect, but quite efficient.

I have finally find the author's blog.
I have posted a longer message to list the minor problems (with a lot of spelling mistakes, unfortunately...)

Hello.
At start, the screen display is sometimes blank. Pivoting the screen flick the screen from normal to blank. Few seconds later, screen is stable and normal.
Normally, it is a common problem in notebook with pivotal screen. The risk is to progressively break the video cable between the ...

I did not believe that encrypted home impacts so much the boot time !? I have begun to remove unnecessary packages and processes, but that impacts mostly HDD and memory.
PS: Good point - there are less "abusive" dependencies, so it is easier to remove more packages.

I have switched to Karmic. It's easier (less patched) but the boot process looks unpolished. Major advantage: a simple way to have the new version of openoffice and few other programs.
Only one minor problem. I have needed to remove and recreate wifi connection to get working network.
None problem ...
