The best cron daemon for laptops?

Hello,

I´m a veteran Slackware user that recently switched to Arch. I got a new laptop (perfect excuse for the switch) and so far the transition has been smooth as silk.

In my previous Slack laptop, I had dcron scheduled to run during the times that I knew the system will be on. I never bothered to look for a more elegant solution, as dcron is the only official cron daemon for Slack.

I see that fcron and anacron are available in community and I would like to ask the more experienced Arch users which is their cron daemon of choice for their laptops and how do they configure it.

Cheers.

I use anacron, but I have to say that I did not test fcron. :-)
