Yup. Your body is hardcore. Too hardcore for itself, even.

This too. And if you must use an antipyretic, supplement with external insulation or heat.

While that's true enough now, windows has in the past been viable as a "small" or "space efficient" choice. Windows 2000 and even XP could be installed and operate in less than 300megs of room, while being able to also run windows software. A linux distro (or bsd) configured to do the same was about the same size without the same level of compatibility. It really comes down to what you need to do.

I've found that arch is often an easier time than fedora if you want "up-to-date" Linux. Fedora has its heart in the right place, but its pathological adherence to open source makes it sometimes a very difficult time for certain classes of new things.

But as I have opinions as to my lawn and your location relative to it, Debian is more often fine for my needs. It's my daily driver on pretty much everything at work and at home, with the exception of a few arch and fedora systems in my home lab.

Instructions unclear; installed Linux and now some of the applications I need for work don't run. Please send help.

The difference is that the above Sumerian could be dealt with using find and replace in a dire situation, while APL is a write-only language.

Because your body can (and sometimes does) overshoot the mark and kill things it isn't intending to kill with heat. It also uses up your stored energy meaning you must eat more and more often.

Better to make your body stop overheating itself, and trap heat with coverings. If you get too hot, it can be modulated by reducing or adding cover. And external heat like a water bottle can bring temps up quickly, and keep you at raised temps safely.

There is also the discomfort from a fever as well. Too much discomfort will lead people to make possibly bad decisions. Pain management is always something to keep in mind.
