+cat << EOF
+PowerTOP is a Linux tool that finds the software component(s) that make your
+laptop use more power than necessary while it is idle. As of Linux kernel
+version 2.6.21, the kernel no longer has a fixed 1000Hz timer tick. This will
+(in theory) give a huge power savings because the CPU stays in low power mode
+for longer periods of time during system idle.
+
+However... there are many things that can ruin the party, both inside the
+kernel and in userspace. PowerTOP combines various sources of information
from
+the kernel into one convenient screen so that you can see how well your
system
+is doing, and which components are the biggest problem.
+
+Requirements:
+ * For PowerTOP to work best, use a Linux kernel with the tickless idle
+ (NO_HZ) feature enabled (version 2.6.21 or later). Currently, only 32-bit
+ kernels have support for tickless idle; 64-bit kernels are expected to
gain
+ this feature in version 2.6.23.
+
+ * PowerTOP works best on a laptop computer, or at least a computer with an
+ Intel mobile processor (certain small non-laptop devices also contain a
+ mobile processor). When using PowerTOP on a laptop, do so when running on
+ battery.
