iBook 800Mhz G3 fan on a lot

[Rory Campbell-Lange <rory@campbell-lange.net>]

My new G3 800Mhz has the fan on a lot (and seems pretty hot under my
left hand). Is this normal? When I'm working late the noise is quite
distracting in a quiet room

Debian testing kernel:
    Linux roz 2.6.6-powerpc #1 Thu May 13 19:43:40 CEST 2004 ppc GNU/Linux

    cat cpufreq 
              minimum CPU frequency  -  maximum CPU frequency  -  policy
    CPU  0       400000 kHz ( 50 %)  -     800000 kHz (100 %)  -  performance

I am running apm and sleep and so on works well. If needs be, I don't
mind dialling down the cpu speed if this is possible.
