11. Sometimes right after Fedora loads and I log in the fan is running where it
is audible, but the temperature sensors show it's cold. After a couple minutes
it settles down to normal where I only hear the fan if things get warm from
heavy CPU or wireless use. I've also noticed that sometimes the Gnome battery
indicator stays full when I'm running on battery. So there are more than a
couple hardware glitches.
