[gentoo-user] "shutdown -h" on Power-button...

[Jarry]

Hi,

I want to set up my computer so that it would do automatically
"shutdown -h" after short pressing of "power" button.

Is the only solution to emerge acpid (found on gentoo-forum)?
Would not it be easier with apm?

Because I remember once in the past having a comp with some other
linux-distro, where I think I did not install acpid, only edited
some file in /etc, and yet after pressing the "power" button it
correctly shutdowned my computer.

I just want to keep number of running daemons low. It is not
a notebook, so I think it is not worth to have one more daemon
running all the time just because of one possible event-trigger...
