This I'm not so sure about as I have not had need to do this myself. I instead keep some information in the Opera Browser's specfic autocomplete forms.

One option is to install 'lm-sensors' and 'sensors-applet' then you can add monitors to the gnome panel. Add one for each sensor you wish to see. You can then configure each instance to monitor a different sensor. There are screenshots on the project page here: http://sensors-applet.sourceforge.net/index.php?content=screenshots > > *A utility that lists installed Hardware information by make and model. 'lshw' is a commandline utility that is capable of outputting this kind of information. There are also other commands specific to a bus type such as 'lspci' and 'lsusb'. cheers, Owen. -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
