You enable/disable Cool'n'Quit in the BIOS (see Cell Menu) but you need
software to control it. For Windoze MSI has developed DigiCell that does
it (see chapter 4 of your hardware manual). You should have it on CD
from the box you got with the mobo. I have no information about a
similar Linux piece of software. I doubt it exists but a search on
google revealed the following url: http://kerneltrap.org/node/2894 you
may start looking there and please report if you find something of
interest :)
