[GRLUG] Burn up the CPU - NOT LINUX

[Josh]

If you are using linux there are different packages but they most are based
off lm-sensors to get the data from the cpu, motherboard, hard drives, and
graphic cards.  There is a gnome2 panel deal to have it displayed in the
bar on top, or you can also use conky and use scripts to have it displayed
on your desktop.

Now I will say running your computer 100 percent for 2 years will be harder
on the equipment than it just running at 10 percent.  As for how much
different it is, I do not know.
