Alas my new notebook uses the dreaded NVIDIA Optimus technology. I have set the BIOS to "Integrated" video but still SL with its ancient Linux kernel spins the fan noisily and constantly. I am forced to look for a Linux distro with a newer kernel - I am using Xubuntu at the moment which does not make the fan noisy but is unstable compared with SL - one or two crash reports per week etc. I might try Fedora with MATE next week.

I hope to use SL again in the future but for now, how do I unsubscribe from this list?

Thanks, Bill
