Another question: if I install Ubuntu 9.04 directly (not as virtual machine), could I harm my hardware, since it isn't patched? Or just turbo boost doesn't work?

Thank you again."...

Lack of Turbo Boost on a native (bare-metal) ubuntu 9.04 or any other OS will NOT harm you computer in any way. However, since the CPU can not enter deeper sleep states, batter performance will suffer. (If you are running a desktop, higher electric bill.) I was about to get an extra 45 min out of a charge when I installed the 2.6.32 kernel. Is there a reason why you are running Ubuntu 9.04?
