Transfering files to the Sony Ericsson K610i from GNU/Linux through USB + OBEX

I'd like to be able to transfer files on my Sony Ericsson K610i phone when I connect it to my GNU/Linux system (Debian in my case) with the standard USB/charger cable shipped with the phone.

There are other methods, like over Bluetooth or IR, but my Desktop PC has no bluetooth or IR interface by default.

On OpenOBEX site there's a wiki which documents the status of various phones. For the Sony Ericsson K610i the informations are here.

I had to check many sources of information to be able to setup something useable, in addition to this link, which I try to summarize here.

Fan speed control with fancontrol on a Shuttle SK41G (mainboard FX41)

I've found a clean way to control the fan speed in my SK41G Shuttle desktop.

It has a fan speed control system in its BIOS, but it happened to be varying the fan speed too often, producing an oscillation, probably because of a poor hysteresis algorthm, producing a changing noise which tends to be really annoying.

I found a way to manage it under GNU/Linux using the fancontrol program from the lm-sensors package.

My goal is to minimize the noise while still trying to protect the hardware from overheating.
