Time will tell on the reliability of the PS3 slim.
Common sense should dictate that SCE should have learned from their mistakes with the early PS2 slim and test/re-work appropriately. From what I understand, the reason why many of the PS2 slims overheated is because users were playing with the console resting on carpet, which is probably one of the dumbest things one can do for computer electronics equipment.
The design of the PS3 case alone tells me that the thermal output has been greatly reduced from the last model. Side vents are gone, front vents have been reduced in area. Smaller die process chip sets, lower power consumption = less heat production. Pretty elementary stuff.
If not and the things start to break, one can only assume SCE was trying to imitate the 360's most notorious trademark feature and they deserve to be raked over the coals appropriately.
As for Linux; it's the coolest feature of the PS3 that next to nobody bothered to use.
