32-bit ARM or PowerPC systems don't need fans. If you want a quiet computer, buy an old PowerPC Mac used and run a PowerPC Linux distro on it. Doesn't Fedora support PowerPC?
However 64-bit PowerPC requires fans that sound like jet engines. I don't think there are 64-bit ARMs yet but I understand they are coming. I have a Core Quad Xeon box that I run Fedora on. It has 16 GB of FB-DIMM memory. FB-DIMM has gone out of style because it uses so much more power, but has superior performance for multithreaded applications because multiple cores can read or write to the same stick at the same time. However, I keep it in my bedroom. If I fall asleep while the door and window are shut, I will wake up in a sweat as the room will become as hot as a sauna! -- Don Quixote de la Mancha quix...@dulcineatech.com Custom Software Development for the iPhone and Mac OS X http://www.dulcineatech.com/custom-software-development/ -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
