Linux

scpm is something like the Location Manager for Mac OS X. You need to be root to execute most of its commands: /sbin/scpm list Lists all available profiles. /sbin/scpm switch "profilename" Switches to the specified profile. /sbin/scpm add "newprofilename" Adds a new profile based on the present systems settings. The files subject to change are located in /var/lib/scpm/profiles/"profilename"/file and /var/lib/scpm/profiles/"profilename"/service. But you shouldn't modify them manually.

To monitor the CPU temperature I use ksensors. Packman has a suse 9.2 rpm. It's a frontend for lmsensors, for which there is no suse rpm, but the installation for 2.6 kernels is easy since no compilation is required.

There are heaps of subtitle editors for Windows, but I found only one usable for Linux: ksubtile. It's not perfect but usable. It uses SubRip format (*.SRT). In these files subtitles have a running number, end- and startime down to milliseconds given for each subtitle. The import function of subtile fails occasionally, but you can use mplayer to convert subtitle files into srt format. BTW: If your movie and the subtitle file have the same name and are in the same directory they will be loaded automatically by mplayer (unless you switch this function off).
