While I have the laptop open, I will probably blow out the dust and put a little WD-40 on the fans, which have been annoyingly loud. Fingers crossed that I don't damage any sensors. My ultimate goal is to set up a double or triple-boot system with OS X and some distro(s) of Linux, so I
would value any advice from people who have experience with that.</div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Oh yes, I will bring my Make: Electronics book.
