Thanks for this. I'll now try these lm-sensors thing. (I rather miss the
Motherboard Monitor I used in Windows to do this.)
A little extra info to get you started with monitoring....
Once you've installed lm-sensors (it's on the SUSE disks) su to root,
and run sensors-detect. This will ask you a whack of questions and
scan your hardware for various chipsets and monitoring hardware. It
will end with a list of modules you can load into the kernel and ask
if you want to add it to your system initialization.
Once it's installed/configured you can run it from the command line as
$USER by typing sensors. This will give you a single dump of the
various things it can monitor... voltages, fan speeds, temperatures
etc., and their current values.
If you want a GUI based output of this, you have more choices than you
can shake a proverbial stick at. I like SuperKaramba and the Cyanpses
plugin.

Some people prefer gkrellm:

Both gkrellm and SuperKaramba are on the SUSE disks, and the pluins
for SuperKaramba can be downloaded/installed/managed within
SuperKaramba once it's started
I think the Gnome Desklets also can show info from sensors... but I
haven't tinkered that much with them yet.
Of course... there are dozens more tools that will show you the output
from sensors... pick the one that feels right to you :-)
