That is how I take it, It's a computer.
But I mostly typed that cause Joel wrote It's a new era ;)

I do like Linux, but I've yet to put it on something good, like the
Alienware I have.
When that gets over-the-hill and I replace it with a new one (~2-3yrs),
I'll put Linux on it and maybe it will run great.
I'm hesitant now because of fan control, Alienwares can run hot, and
I've read stories about fans pulsing on/off then not working under
Linux.
Right now I have the ability to set them to run at %'s of 100 and per
program/game settings And I can pick intel graphics or nvidia graphics
with the click of a button.
