That's a curious comment, since Vernard is saying that he is running  
that
system and screen from a recent Ubuntu release:

"[I get] about 4.8 hours with stock Ubuntu 9.04. If you use a netbook
remix you can get  that to around 6 hours of course but I find the  
netbook
remix too  limiting for my work style. and I hear you can get a 9 cell
battery for  it...."

Can you clarify what you are talking about?
