(I posted the original question, thanks everyone for all of your answers. They were most informative.)
My understanding (from reading bp6.com) is that the SYS temperature on this motherboard tends to be higher than the CPU temps because they placed the temperature monitor right around the voltage regulators. Because these things generate heat, the SYS temperature doesn't reflect the temperature of the motherboard in general.
For what it is worth, I have experienced exactly zero lockups so far on my system that were not obviously driver related.
Note that I am running two different speed celerons in my system. Using Linux 2.2.14, you need to disable the TSC skew correction in the kernel. If by chance you are in this situation, email me and I'll send you the patch I use.
One of my domains is registered through register.com and the other through Network Solutions.
The register.com folks have always been helpful, even calling long-distance to Canada to resolve a problem I was having with them. Also, making changes to the domain name information takes place almost immediately.
Contrast this to Network Solutions. It can take up to three days to get information changed in their database and they often seem to ignore messages requesting support.
I would definitely choose register.com over Network Solutions in the future. Of course, with the other, cheaper, companies out there, register.com may now have a run for their money.
The Internet is becoming increasingly important for education. The University of Alberta gives each of their students an email account and access to the Internet. Many courses, even in such departments as Religion, require the use of online discussion boards or post information on web pages.
Some colleges and universities are even offering distance learning over the Internet. This is becoming increasingly popular.

If you live in Canada, the fact that you purchase CD-Rs does (according to the government) mean that you are going to be duplicating commercial music CDs. There was at least one Slashdot article on this. We have a CD levy here because of this.
Please provide one example of a person solving a problem (whether that be sailing around the world, space travel, whatever) that was mathematically proven to be unsolvable.
This is not just smoke. This is based on email I received (I was the one who forwarded this to Slashdot). Check the article... the stuff in the second paragraph is a direct quote from email from Metrowerks.
Just because it is the Unix (or Linux) way to do something doesn't necessarily mean it is the best way to do something. Codewarrior will not be available for Linux. That means I have to use the Windows version if I want to collaborate with my Mac friend working on a project with me. Had we known this in the first place, we'd never have chosen CodeWarrior. It's a great IDE but the main reason we settled on it was its cross-platformness. emacs, while wonderful (and my main tool of choice) just isn't as well ported.
I was going to buy it. I in fact tried to do so on Friday last week at a local store and then tried yesterday through their web site. Of course, I was the person who forwarded this message on to Slashdot in the first place so maybe I'm in a minority.
Apache allows the use of servlets. Combine this with an applet and you could build a pretty powerful system to do exactly this. IMHO, more powerful than a CGI solution but of course, this would require programming a front-end in Java as well as the back-end.
