As I understand it, you're not using sophocles for any hardware<br>
experimentation, so is there any reason it can't be turned into a VM on<br>
medico? It's just that sophocles uses the old P4 generation xeons which<br>
run really hot.<br>
<br>
If you really want your own physical machine that has to be on all the<br>
time, could you upgrade to something that is substantially cooler?<br>
