How Make a Noisy Fan More Quiet
If you have an earlier version of the Acer Aspire One and are still running the original Linux Linpus operating system, you can use a couple of scripts to quiet it down and still keep your computer cool. The image of having a small, sleek netbook gets a bit ruined when it’s the noisiest machine in the coffee shop.
- first download the acerfand script here.
- then download the acer_ec script here.
- copy both of the files to /usr/local/bin
- make the acerfand executable using chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/acerfand
- open /etc/rc.local as root and add /usr/local/bin/acerfand at the end of the file
That should do it. Enjoy the quieter fan.

It’s worth noting that the above method is now considered outdated as it can cause issues. There is now a kernel module that does the job better.
