I made a fresh install of Fedora 16 replacing Ubuntu 11.10 and now i do not
have overheating problem but due to my battery being affected because of
above problem mentioned i think i should consider changing battery and even
Fedora 16 runs on kernel 3.1 so this also consumes power but at a rate less
than Ubuntu. Hoping for some patches and fixes in kernel 3.2.
