Is there a tool in linux to calculate the system temperature?

Most newer systems support thermal monitoring. You can install the lm_sensors package to provide the hardware level software.
In KDE, I use the ksensors applet to display the CPU temperature in my system tray. ksensors is a GUI front end for lm_sensors, and requires it to be installed.
Other desktops probably provide their own front end to lm_sensors, but lm_sensors is the package that reads the sensor chip output.
