My laptop is running hot so I have spent the last couple of weeks
distro-hopping on my new Dell Inspiron N5010 laptop to have a look at
the competition:
Mandriva - I am a refugee from Mandriva, looking bad over on the forums,
hardly any one there! Worked well, hardware recognised (and I know what
I am doing!)
Fedora - didn't like it, could fry an egg on my trackpad!

I find that my laptop occasionally runs hot, I tend to throttle it down
to 1GHz but I do find that Flash (and Thunderbird) tend to hammer the
CPU even when idle.
Maybe that doesn't help.
I also recently replaced my hard drive (I have an Aspire 2920 12"
notebook) so I could get to the CPU fan when I had the bottom cover of
the laptop off, I blew the fan and lots of fluff came flying out. The
funny thing is it wasn't that long ago since I cleaned it before. Guess
these things just attract dust and fluff.
Oh and you must have a big trackpad, best I could manage is a blob of
egg white on my trackpad.
