Netbook running hot in Crunchbang!!

linux-howto

http://crunchbanglinux.org – Something I've noticed with every linux distro I've installed on my netbook, especially crunchbang, is that linux makes my netbook run too hot!I usually like to lay down with my netbook on my chest or on my lap but with it being so hot I can't stand having 50-60c heat pumping into me, not only that but the Acer Aspire One AOD257 has a tendancy to shutdown at random when it gets a little too warm (but not the limit of the atom cpu inside which i think is like 80-90c). I really need to find a way to get the netbook running cooler like it does in Windows 7. I read it has something (HowTos)
