Overheating problem ...

[Art Edwards]

In the past, we had huge problems with overheating with certain
motherboards. However, we have not had problems with a particular flavor
of debian , although we found quantitative differences between 2.4 and
2.6 kernels. This was resolved when we bought and installed higher
quality motherboards and a lot of cooling.
