Yes, but he has a point - Solaris does quite a good job at keeping the
unit's temperature at an acceptable level, mine rarely gets more than hand
warm ( it runs Solaris because NetBSD doesn't support the SUNW,DBRIe's ISDN
part - I use the box as NAT-router, http-proxy, firewall and so on ), of
course it gets (a bit) warmer on heavy load.
The only things I did to keep it cool is using the little legs to allow
airflow underground and leaving the PCMCIA door open - not putting it on a
soft ( and therefore isolating ) surface should be enough.
have fun
