No, not worse or better, just recently noticable since I just had an
unexpected reboot :-). My various linux boxen seem to get this right (or
at least more credible numbers), have for years, in the lm_sensors
package. This is obviously not a huge problem, but it would be sweet to
be able to monitor stuff like system temps reliably & accurately,
presumably more so on possibly distant servers. I *think* all this stuff
is tied up in the basic system, not pkgs, but I could be wrong. If more
info is needed, just ask. Have a good one.
