I had also earlier looked at the temperatures with a similar command. This is stable/10, by the way. For what it's worth, CPU temperatures seem to be entirely reasonable. When I was running memtest86+, it reported temperatures around 40-45 C. The sysctl command now returns: hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 27.8C hw.acpi.thermal.tz1.temperature: 29.8C dev.cpu.0.temperature: 40.0C dev.cpu.1.temperature: 40.0C dev.cpu.2.temperature: 40.0C dev.cpu.3.temperature: 40.0C > If you have an ASUSTeK motherboard, the aibs(4) driver gives information = about > temperatures, voltages and fan speed. Appreciated. I have added this to the loader.conf on my notebook. > You can use smartctl from the sysutils/smartmontools package to monitor t= he > health of harddisks.

Thanks! >=20 > E.g. the sysutils/conky port can be used as a system monitor. >=20 I'm short a mouse at the moment, so I can't use X, but as I sort my way through this, that can happen later.
