Small Testament to Arch
A little testament to Arch. Buddy had heating issues with Windows on his laptop. Switched to Debian, better, instead of a couple hours, took a day or two before it heated up. Switched to Arch, 2 weeks uptime, machine is still cold. Very cool, if you ask me.

Re: Small Testament to Arch
Cool, but I'd look a bit more into why the system was overheating; maybe check to see if any components snuggled up with a dust blanket, if you guys haven't done so already.
My roomates said they were going to get me rims for Christmas, or a CB radio so I can talk to other car beds; that'll be hot. Might get a stereo, too. My sister said I should get an alarm.

The fsb probably broke out in a rash.

Re: Small Testament to Arch
Hmm, my laptop is the opposite. It heats up more in Linux than Windows. It never gets too hot, but does heat up more. I think the BIOS has some Vista specific fan controller code.

fyi, was the first thing we checked and have checked since then. Blow out at least semi-annually, monthly in a dusty environment, yo!
