What!? That's waaay cool. We have a couple of dual PPro 200
machines that have literally toasted about a half dozen CPU fans, until I
get some heavy duty 12v 6cm fans, a couple leds, a buzzer and a relay and
cook up a home brew fail-safe (at least horrible-alarm-safe) system. They
use to run NiceTry (now they're Linux-converted), and the system
freezed...
Maybe that's what have happened to you? One CPU fan went dead? I can't
figure out how one CPU can freeze and the other keep on with the job
without locking the entire machine... or maybe this is one more wonder of
Linux on the PC architecture?
Please clear this out as it could be a marvellous point for Linux
advocacy :)
