Einleitung

As a computer is used, it generates heat. The cooling fan pulls air through the device to cool it down. If it becomes clogged with dust or breaks, the computer will overheat.

    Bradley,

    If I replace the chrome os Hard drive with one that has a Linux distro already installed will the linux work normally or is there something built in to stop it.

    It's something I do with an old dell I use for checking out distros.

    Regards,

    Jack

    I guess it's too late to answer this question now, but C710 is not IBM PC-compatible so standard linux distros do not run normally on it without any modifications.

    You can flash a IBM PC-compatible bootloader(coreboot+SEABIOS) on it to run other linux distros.
