Is there anything Linux can’t do (other than take over the desktop market, that is…*ducks*)?

I meant to post this a long time. I guess I was planning on fleshing out the two lines above a bit more but I decided to go ahead & just post it anyway, just to trim down my pending post queue (I have, like, 10 unfinished posts waiting on me to complete & post them…)
I’ve ordered 4 case fans from Newegg, because ever since I’ve closed-up my case (a gift from an old friend), the noise level is actually higher as the CPU fan is spinning faster to keep it cool now that it’s closed. I figure adding a few larger fans will help keep the internal temperature lower and keep that (hopefully noisier) CPU fan running more quitely. We’ll just have to see. Until I get the camera I want, you’ll just have to imagine what all this looks like.
Currently, the CPU idles around 46°C with a case temperature of 46°C, likewise. This peaks at almost 60°C when running a fill CPU load (runs Prime95 for a short while…) 61°C CPU, 46°C case. The CPU fan also runs at 6250 RPM at this temperature. Once I’ve installed the new fans (I might do them one at a time to measure their individual contributions), I’ll report back.
