Fedora 20 and 21

TLP packages are available from the official Fedora repositories:

    tlp (Updates) ? Power saving
    tlp-rdw (Updates) ? optional, Radio Device Wizard

Install the above packages with the command (in a root shell):
yum install tlp tlp-rdw

Note: packages for RHEL/CentOS are available from EPEL6/7 repositories.
