Try out lubuntu, faster boot up time and less CPU intensive, lengthening battery life and shortening boot time. See lubuntu.org for more information.

  • but I really like Unity.... and I think lubuntu is a bit essential but witout any eye-candy.... The battery problem is a kernel problems so I need a program to do that.... Also the boot time is very very slow(35 seconds) it's not possible....

Install "powertop" (which you may find in the Ubuntu Software Centre.

It is a command-line utility, which you may find difficult to use, but if you find some tutorials, you could tweak things in your hardware to expend less battery charge.

In my case, I improved from 1:30 hours of charge at common use (surfing the web, mid-brightness), up to 2:20 hours of charge.

Good luck ;)
