    Thanks for the tip InZane84,
    hard to know if this really saves much energy, but it does govern frequency on demand nicely on my I5 2500K.
    What we really have to appreciate is antiX is designed for much less powerful devices, many have fixed processor
    frequency which is probably why the cpufreq utility is not distro standard.

    Yeah, if your cpu frequency is fixed then this is of no benefit.
