I have the same problem. My Toshiba (Centrino 1.7 Ghz, 512 MB) heats up when I run Ubuntu. I have the Beta release of Edgy Eft. I have always wondered why my laptop heats up when I run Ubuntu. Ubuntu is by far the best distro I have seen. I would be delighted to see this bug fixed in the near future.
