If you work from a laptop or other portable device, extending the time between charges is a great way to improve your productivity. The Linux environment includes several utilities that will help you configure and monitor the system's power consumption settings. This month we focus on tools for power management.

Also inside:

• Amahi - This hearty home server system lets you turn your old computer into a file server, streaming server, or network backup target.
• JavaScript Alternatives - If you like JavaScript but you're looking for a language with fewer issues, try CoffeeScript, Dart, Elm, or TrueScript.

This month's Linux Voice section includes articles on ELF executables, network scanning, Apache Spark, and more. See our quick contents summary at our website.

Print copies of Linux Magazine purchased at your local newsstand or through our online shop include a free Linux Magazine DVD featuring Debian 9 and Tails 3!
