I have now done new tests with the following results.
1) Test of hardinfo on Hardy Heron Alpha 2:
The program works generally very well. I cannot make it crash.
1a) However, the CPU ZLib test fails with an error message. It says "Cannot load ZLib. /usr/lib/libz.so not found".
I suggest that when the hardinfo is installed from the repo it also pulls down the Zlib as dependency. I think the package name is zlib1g (is it right?).
I know that lm-sensors (and CLI programs: sensors and sensors-detect) can distinguish between the various sensors and give them right names.
Also GNOMEs "Hardware Sensor Monitor" applet shows correct sensor names.

Thanks for your reply.

1b) There are also other minor issues with the presented data that could be improved.
The issues are:
The Devices -> Sensors should give proper name to the sensors. www.edbl. no/tmp/ hardinfo- improve- temperature- info.png
Now it just reports fan1, fan2,... and temp1, temp2, temp3 which are meaningless names.

2) Test of updgraded hardinfo on Ubuntu 7.10 gutsy. ppa.launchpad. net/norsetto/ ubuntu/ pool/main/ h/hardinfo/ hardinfo_ 0.4.2.3- 1~ppa1_ i386.deb
I removed the old hardinfo (apt-get remove) and installed the upgraded version provided by Cesare Tirabassi
http://
This hardinfo version works very well and it didn't crash anymore.
But note the matter listed in 1b).
