As for me, i only notice, that, *IF* there is powernowd activated, the
fan noise in lubuntu is less invasive. But i noticed as well, that
other distros generally seem to deal better with the fan.

For me, i'm not speaking about Mintppc but about Debian "sid" + LXDE -
which has clearly less invasive use of fan.

I' m not a programmer but a simple user. I answered to the request of
ppc lubuntu testers but for sure, i'm not skilled (i was asked to
subscribe Lubuntu-QA and to post there). I'm sorry, if i'm confusing
something and for sure i won't be offended if you tell me that . . .
No problem at all. So i'll stop and wait for the release.
