Hi there,
Is there any good tools out there to check System's temperature, on Debian?

Any recommendation will help bunch!!! :)
 
You need to install the ACPI daemon, yet I am not sure if it will work with all architectures.
I guess you will have to try it out.

APT-GET should be able to do it if you have the debian-unstable repo configured.

Code:
apt-get install acpid

Get it to start in GRUB by adding
Code:
acpi=on
in grub.conf

Then, when the daemon is running, you may execute
Code:
cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature
and get the temperature.


Cheers
