Again, I very much doubt that's the case. As I understand it, Linux is not making these measurements, they're being done in the system firmware, and they'll be done in exactly the same way with exactly the same consequences no matter what OS is running; the only thing the OS can do or not do is *report* them. I may be wrong, of course, but that's how I understand it. note that the temperature reported is an internal one, though most laptops have a 'hot spot' or two which reasonably accurately reflects internal temps. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
