I'm getting a laptop for Christmas and i wanted to know how battery life is in Debian compared to windows. I have heard that it gets significantly lower but i cannot find any good information on it. So if anyone has any experience with linux on laptops I would like to know how well your battery life is. If it is lower what would be some good ways to improve that.

I get slightly better life out of my Eee. Best ways to improve it? Turn off wireless, bluetooth, camera. Unplug unnecessary usb devices. Dim the screen.
