When I ran "yum update", when it started to install the updates it said something like cpu 0 overheating cpu 1 overheating. Then my screen went black for a second and the next thing I new is I was at the login screen. Having problems like this in Linux is unacceptable. That could have caused major damage. Things like this need to be worked out. Linux needs to focus more on the here and now and not keep pushing for the newest technology. Don't get me wrong I think Linux is a gem. I like the GPL but I don't like how company's can use people's software and make profit. The people that make the software should be getting paid if anyone is getting paid. Once again, things like this are unacceptable. I am afraid to use Fedora 6 now. I alos, have am having problems after a clean installation. Kind Regards, Mike
Have you considered that maybe your CPU was realy over heating and Linux didn't have much to do with it? Similiar happened to me recently, post a kernel upgrade. I thought it was the new kernel, turned out that the CPU was over heating. I cleaned up the dust and put in a new CPU fan with new thermal gel. Now I'm running cooler than before. -- Fedora Core 6 and proud
