My older Core Duo (not Core 2 Duo) mac mini show the following running
Ubuntu 9.04 and while watching TV:

applesmc-isa-0300
Adapter: ISA adapter
Master :    1618 RPM  (min = 1500 RPM)
temp1:       +57.5°C
temp2:       +55.0°C

Touch wood - I've never had any issues with it overheating (and it's run
Fedora 5,6,7,8,9 and Ubuntu 8.04, 8.10 and now 9.04)
