	ACPID is a completely flexible, totally extensible daemon for delivering ACPI events. It listens on a file (/proc/acpi/event) and when an event occurs, executes programs to handle the event. The programs it executes are configured through a set of configuration files, which can be dropped into place by packages or by the admin.

 PiSi uses LZMA (Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain algorithm) to for data compression. It is implemented in Python and is very efficient and small. The packages are zipped files, generally in tar.gz format.
