is there any way to check the temperature and watch the r.p.m. on the fans w/o going to BIOS-level?

lm-sensors works well for this. Once you ran sensors-detect you can use lots of different tools to view the fan rpm/core temps etc. (KSensors, gkrelm, SuperKaramba and pretty much any monitoring plugin, etc etc).

Thanks for this. I'll now try these lm-sensors thing. (I rather miss the Motherboard Monitor I used in Windows to do this.)

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. http://netdragon.sourceforge.net/ssuperkaramba.html

Just for the record, that netdragon url is deprecated. superkaramba is at version 0.41 by now, and since not too long ago it has been an official part of KDE; suse packages it into kdeutils3-extra. bye, MH -- Die unaufgeforderte Zusendung einer Werbemail an Privatleute verstößt gegen §1 UWG und §823 I BGB (Beschluß des LG Berlin vom 2.8.1998 Az: 16 O 201/98).
