Guess one would say it is not a problem however when booting into OSX the fan does not turn on unless of something really pushing the CPU hard.  On Ubuntu the fan is extremely sensitive and turns on with the slightest  thing running.  I can't tell if it is heat related or not.  How does one tell?  As for the kernel.  I have not yet been able to have a good working kernel on the 17 powerbook yet :(.  Any kernel that does run when switching from a graphical tty to another tty, the display goes so wacky on me.
