system resourses?

[Prophet621]

I have seen a lot of desktops with a bar on the side/bottom with cpu, memory.. etc. What is it and where can I get one? I've tried most things listed in the gnome/kde start menu.

I think you're talking about gkrellm, You can find it here:

That's the one, thanks for the help.:D

what i like to use to get a quick view of what is happining with system resources is xosview, it is not a panel dock app, it is good for a quick view without the details of a full featured process viewer (that is what top is for)...

Hmmm.. I installed gkrellm but can't find it to make it run

Try openning up a terminal and typing

gkrellm &

then you can close the terminal.

It's not in /usr/bin/gkrellm?

locate gkrellm

or

find / -name gkrellm

should find it for you.
