quote who=Heracles Unfortunately for most of us, those with the Secret knowledge of the Debian prefer to keep it hidden as much as possible, only occasionally passing on the crumbs to accolites. They prefer to refer to the FM. That is a fetid pile of blinkered bollocks. Why do you think there is a SLUG Debian SIG? I've learned *all* of the really useful things I know about Debian (and I'm not really into the intricacies) from SLUGgers. (Similarly, many of us have learned all the useful things to know about Linux from SLUGgers.) Thankfully as there are so many manuals that the would be Debian users seldom find the answers they seek even after many hours (more often weeks) of searching they turn to saner (read easier to use)distributions. Are you one of those males who refuses to ask for directions, and always ends up in nowheresville? I use Debian precisely because it's easy (and Free). I don't know where your continual bad attitude towards Debian comes from. - Jeff -- Cette menace est très sérieuse. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

I just wish it would display the hostname, so you can use it as a network wide system monitor utility.

You can always hack it if you like :). Another solution may be to use the gkrellm plugin; gkrellm displays the hostname, and has bubblefishymon running as an applet. You can turn off all of gkrellm's other system monitors if you want to. -- #ozone/algorithm [EMAIL PROTECTED] - b.sc (comp. sci+psych) -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
Re: [SLUG] bubblefishymon
I liked debian, especially apt but i couldn't work out how to get kde installed with it, not that i tried to hard, but i suppose it doesn't matter now as i droped kde (resource hungry bitch of a thing). I was running this machine as 2k, slack8 and deb2.2r2 but when i redid it i made it 98 (mm dos games) and slack8 and didn't bother with debian again, I suppose I went with slack8 because that was the one i knew better due to the fact I had been using it more. It was much easier to get X going in debian than it was slackware but. i like sifting through ./configure --help working out what options i need and can use then compiling from source sure it might take longer than using an rpm or deb, but then its tweaked for your system. I know people who have built their entire system by compiling it and have had a huge performance increase over those who used rpm's and deb's. This is the main reason i use slackware, i need to ensure I get optimal perforamnce because i have a crap machine. -- Karl Clements Everyone is stupid, its just the degree that varies reply who=Andre Pang date=Sat, 5 Jan 2002 00:55:27 +1100 hallo, i was buggering around yesterday, and found a very cute little program called bubblefishymon. it's Yet Another System Resource Monitor for X (CPU usage, swap memory, memory usage, network traffic), but it kicks ass because it's a liddle fishtank instead of looking like a boring old graph. tres groovy! a screenshot of the gkrellm version is at http://www.algorithm.com.au/gkrellm-bubblefishymon.jpg the number of bubbles in the water represent CPU usage, the height of the water is the memory usage, number of fishes represent network traffic, and the colour of the water is how deep you are into swap (blue = none, red = heavy). the duck is just there because ducks are kewt.

Run tasksel to install large chunks of related packages in Debian. Please consider the countless hours of work that the KDE hackers have put into their software so that you can just pass it off as a resource hungry bitch of a thing. Not kind. i like sifting through ./configure --help working out what options i need and can use then compiling from source sure it might take longer than using an rpm or deb, but then its tweaked for your system. I know people who have built their entire system by compiling it and have had a huge performance increase over those who used rpm's and deb's. Huge is generally in the single-digit percent range (except for some very specific cpu-intensive applications, not your general desktop fare). Good to see they've spent all those clock cycles and weekends recompiling their software to save so little!
