    Well, in my Windows installation, I always monitor the temperatures (CPU, GPU, and HDD), but that isn't the case in Linux. I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a Linux utility that could monitor these temperatures.

    Thanks.

    Could you tell us what distro or environment you're using? Gnome and KDE have nice little monitoring applets that go into the panel. If we knew your particular distro, we might be able to give you instructions on how to get them. Or you might have them already.

    Sorry for the slow reply.

    Gophn, the Hardware monitor you linked me up to seems to have everything I wanted, and more. I will go ahead and check it out. Thanks.

    archer7, sorry, I forgot to mention that. I'm using GNOME right now. Applets in the panel that put temperatures in easy view would be great.
