New to GNU-Linux here using Mandrake 9.1. Got a few questions.

1. Is there any utility which can get the power saving features running on a

Linux machine? This is not just about putting the display on standby mode, but also possibly powering down the hard disks.

apmd.

2. Any daemon to monitor the temperature of the CPU & possibly also CPU

fan's rpm.? Am using an Athlon XP 2000+

lm-sensors

3. Anyway to make an iso image from a CD ? mkisofs looks like it can, but I

cant really figure out what switches I could use. XCDRoast has a duplicate CD option, but the image it creates is an .img file and I am not sure whether its iso or some other format.

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/path/to/iso for a mounted data CD.
