My Acer Ferrari 3400 cannot go through an OpenSolaris installation without overheating and powering itself down. Because OpenSolaris has no power management for this laptop, the CPU runs at 100% clock rate 100% of the time, which isn't a problem for other OSs.
Luckily, the Ferrari has no problems sharing a cramped space with mustard, pickes, left-over Chinese food, and a beer. Ferrari 3400, meet OpenSolaris 2008.05:
Gee, all I have is an Apple[tm] on my MacBook Pro...
ReplyDeletePretty warm Apple, tho. Running Sun xVM VirtualBox on a Mac OS X host with an OpenSolaris guest can definitely heat up. Then again, it's not nearly as hot as when a WinXP Professional guest is running.
Maybe I'll run upstairs and grab that jar of cold pickles...
