I am running 6.0 on a little rackserver.
Alot of the time its inactive and I was
wondering about trying to setup ACPI
the main reason being to spin down the 
disc / PSU so its a bit quieter (its in my 
office) I would require it to wake on
LAN activity. How feasable is this
and what steps do I need to take
to set it up ?

I am reading acpiconf man right now
but I suspect more is required.

I have set the BIOS to WOL, spin
down disc after 15 mins and ACPI
suspend type to S1.

Just tested acpiconf -s 4 and it
shuts the system down completely?

Any help appreciated - Thanks!
