I am using now for more than a few days Puppy LInux 4.0 on my Laptop.
The two first negative imperssions for me were.
The Fan was allways running 100% and my Laptop was also allways amazing hot.
Now i have maked some tests and for my surprise Puppy is consuming less than 1% of the CPU Power but it produce more than 70 Celsius Degree Heatness.
To prove it itself just type the following command here in the terminal !
# cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRC/*
