I've been running Simply since last September here, and before that, Mandrake's various flavors since I put together this AMD Athlon-based system in the spring of 2000. I have fairly decent cooling here - there are several case fans in addition to the obvious fans on the motherboard and on the processor. One point I'd like to make: heat issues and such have been bantered back and forth on Mandrake lists (and probably many others) for quite a while, and it's hard if next to impossible to blame an OS or a desktop manager for these heat problems. There are a lot of systems out there, though, with less than optimal cooling, and less than optimal memory or other crucial components. I have come to the same conclusions as some others on the Mandrake lists have, in particular Tom Brinkman, in case any former (or current) Mandrake users recall him. He suggests that if you try running the Mersenne prime torture test (www.mersenne.org) and it fails, then there likely is some serious glitch in your hardware that may not come up except under periods of extreme stress. I've run the test a few times over here without problems. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
