So far I've found two that are handy: /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ contains some information that is reported by your computer's internal temperature sensors.
Also, /proc/cpuinfo displays details about your processors and their current frequency setting. Neat eh?

This is a real time, memory resident file system
that tracks the processes running on your machine and the state of your
system. I wouldn't monkey around in there to much.
Are you in there thru the terminal it'll be ok.

Yeah, I am just browsing /proc via the terminal and using cat and less to look at files. Shouldn't it be fairly safe to poke around /proc as long as you don't write anything to it?

Neat, /proc/meminfo is even more detailed than free -l.

What does "+1" mean by the way?
