don't expect everybody to know about everything that exists for linux. 
have a look at freshmeat for short and i can for sure find a project you 
didn't know about up untill i told you it exists. i didn't know what 
smartmontools are and having a laptop my only worry was about the 
temperature. that's why hddtemp was enough up untill now. never 
considered anything mroe than this "toy script".

let's play a little game. if you can convince another 14 people to vote to 
have a total of 20 votes, let me know and i will include it in [extra].

this limit i set arbitrary. don't tell me that other pkgs have a higher 
score and must go to extra first. this is no argument to me.

greetings,
Damir
