I've been using Mythbuntu for my front end and I'm loving it. I'm the first of any of my friends to really try Linux, so I'm pretty newb. I'm about to build a frontend for my bedroom and living room. Sound actually is an issue in these areas so I'm looking to build a pretty quiet computer. I'm looking at:<br>

but I am worried about the heat. Does Linux / Myth have any tools for checking on the temp of CPU and GPU?<br>
</blockquote></div><br>Absolutely, there's a package called lm-sensors (might be lm_sensors depending on distro, is so on my Arch box). I use that and the nvidia-settings app that comes with the Nvidia drivers to monitor temps. You can also use hddtemp to monitor the temp(s) of your hard drive(s) if you want.<br>
<br>You can also use a program called conky to display this info anywhere on your desktop with constant real-time refreshes. Mine is here as an example: <a href="http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/8611/conky.jpg">http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/8611/conky.jpg</a> (temps on the right end)<br>
