I want to know if my Linode's CPU has a clock speed of 2 or 3.2 MHz, how can I check?

I totally understand why you would want to double check on this. The good news is that it is a simple command to find out. Just log into your Linode and run:
lscpu | grep MHz
This will pull out the current, min and max MHz of your CPU clock speed.
If you want to get a little fancier you can run:
watch -n1 "lscpu | grep 'MHz' | awk '{print $1}'"
Which will update the MHz live as your Linode runs. Since the MHz is something that varies this could help you keep track of the ups and downs.
