New Computer

[Ivan Avery Frey]

I'm getting a new computer for my Dad. I really like the Mac Mini and 
the iMac because of their "sleep" modes among other things, but I think 
I could get more bang for my buck with a generic box running Linux.

What kind of hardware out there can go into "sleep mode" and is 
compatible with Linux? And by sleep mode I mean the power supply fan 
shuts off.

Ivan.
