Waitaminit, 512mb RAM and about 1.2gb HD left? So don't write anything down or there's no swap space? Or did the 2.9gb usage already include swap space?
As for battery drainage, comparing Ubuntu to MacosX, you can dim an ibook's or powerbook's screen to pure blackness under the second but only marginal dimming (and hence energy savings) under the first. So obvious power savings can be made in future.
