While it has been a while since I used gkrellm to monitor a remote system, I use it every day to monitor my system I sit at. Keep in mind, not much changes on how gkrellm works. It looks for temp/fan/CPU/memory etc info and displays it. I'm not sure it requires a whole lot of updating to do that especially given it has worked fine here for ages and not much has really changed. It was the remote part that I wasn't sure about. I know it used to have that feature and if it still does, the remote part works just like the local part does. You just tell it to monitor something other than the system you are sitting at. Sorry I wasn't more clear in my first message. Dale :-) :-)
