It is yet another option and those who need it will use it. I find that in my class/labs (I realize that we are talking about very different student profiles - I teach undergraduate business students) I usually leave the terminal icon visible. About 10% of the class uses it, and the others just don't go there. > I think any kid that wants to should be able to place > this activity in the frame.

gnome-system-monitor shows release, memory, processor, space. It also has tabs, for processes, resources and file systems, but I am not sure if we need that much detail. http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Deployment_Guide-en-US/images/rhl-common/sysinfo/gnome-system-monitor-memory.png >> 3) Memory Analysis acivity: An activity based on developer console >> where is possible to get different stats about the memory usage by: X >> Server, Activities, System process, etc. >> > > This seems reasonable.
