ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.

Yes to your first question - have a look at http://www.lm-sensors.org/ (although Debian probably provides packages). I'm not sure about the second question...
As /proc is being deprecated you can check your system's temp with acpi -t as it's been said or with "cat /sys/bus/acpi/devices/LNXTHERM\:00/thermal_zone/temp". Result is given in mēC (The thermometer you might be interested in might not be in that exact path).

According to your kernel version you are still using Debian Etch. Etch is not supported anymore (no security updates) since February 2010. I would strongly recommend to upgrade at least to Lenny, better to Squeeze.
