What's the current "right" way to tell Linux (F10 in my case) to slow down the CPU speed when the core temperature is too high? (aside from the box's built-in "turn on wind turbines before it melts" option ;)
Have you taken a look at sensors-applet (http://sensors-applet.sourceforge.net)?
It works on my Toshiba laptop running Fedora 10. I found it the other day already installed on my laptop which means that I probably downloaded it from one the standard repositories that I use for Fedora 10 or that it was part of the Fedora 10 DVD iso image since I did not install it from SourceForge.net.
