I downloaded the latest FC release and fan works properly with live CD.

I just tried the beta 5 live CD release of Kubuntu. Sad to say the temp 
problem still hasn't been addressed.

Before I lose valuable hardware, I'll switch to another distro. I believe 
Kubuntu is going to lose their users if this behavior continues.

This is a *MAJOR* problem. Yet still ignored.
