Thank you all for the attention. It's been a hard task to install Linux on a PB5300. Well, I don't have any problem with MAC OS 8.0. I have it installed on the computer. All I want is a text editor that has syntax highlighting (for me to program in Java and C/C++), a Java compiler and a C/C++

... it could be that most notebooks have inadequate cooling of that area. However, from my limited experience, cooling under the 'Book won't do anything to help, because of how the PC card cage is designed. I think you pretty much hit it on the head. Laptops tend to have very poor cooling.
