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. (quack!) the homepage is at http://www.pigeond.net/bfm/ ; it's available as a standalone app, a gkrellm plugin, and i think also a windowmaker dock app. i believe there's also a GNOME applet panel version. for the debian users, there's also a deb package at the bottom of the page. quack on, -- #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
