I know it sounds weird but there is a basis to my query.
My wife runs a Toshiba laptop under Windows Vista and I am trying to convince her to switch to openSUSE, promising better response times.
I am certain it would perform better but am afraid that it will run too hot.
We did some tests using a USB bootable version of Precise Puppy and the Toshiba would always shut down due to overheating.
She is not running anything very exotic, almost exclusively Korean videos off of the Internet.
So, can you predict if openSUSE would cause overheating, is it steamier than Windows ?
I guess I could try the LiveCD version and see what happens, though the response times will not be very impressive.
What say y'all ?
