The Linux kernel, starting from version 2.6.6, contains a feature called laptop mode. This feature is also present in the Linux 2.4 series starting from version 2.4.23. When you enable this feature, Linux allows your hard drive to spin down more often, resulting in significant power savings. Unfortunately, to make laptop mode work, you need to install some scripts and configure some things. The Laptop Mode Tools package is a convenience package, it contains everything you need to work with laptop mode. The kernel documentation used to contain up-to-date scripts but they are currently unmaintained; I recommend using laptop-mode-tools instead.
