the way i do it, you need 2 things: a) a kernel able to do acpi, and cpu frequency scaling. b) some utility to monitor the temperature. i use gkrellm, which has a temperature monitor built in. there's some place where you can modify the way your fan works too, but i dont remember right now, and i'm not at my home machine. my laptop switches fan speeds at approximately 55 degrees and 65 degrees. (if i remember correctly). also, if you use a wm style window manager, look at www.dockapps.org. lots of stuff there which could help. gnome/kde may have applets to do the job too, but i dont know.
