I have a laptop which sometime goes really hot and I wanted a simple way to be able to view CPU and Hard disk temperature. I' m on SUSE 10.3 and I tried installing LM-sensors but no sensors were detected. After a very little search I found that you can view the CPU speed by using the cpufrequtils so I installed the package using Yast and executed cpufreq-info.
Here is the output:
Here is the output:
