I could sure use a cool system monitoring app ....I have not been through all the pages of this thread, but hope someone can point me to where this app now is available.

Sorry if the answer is already posted in one of the replies I have not read yet.

Thanks!

I use Gnome, and it has a great system monitor applet. Just right-click on your panel, and select "Add to Panel...", scroll down to "System and Hardware", and select "System Monitor". This will give you a CPU monitor. If you right-click on it you can expand it to monitor all kinds of things.

If that's not your style, there's always gdesklets. Take a look further down the page for the categories of desklets, some of which can monitor CPU, network stats, memory, hard disk, etc...

Just posted this in its own thread, but it's cool.

It's a re-think of the Gnome panel. More towards what Mac OSX offers with its dock, but it's still very much its own thing.

I found out about this a couple of weeks ago for automatic backups to an external hard drive or cd/dvd.

SBackup is a simple backup solution intended for desktop use. SBackup can back up any subset of files and directories.

I think you may be my new hero. There was Jesus, then Newt, now you.

Tomboy Notes: much better than sticky notes on the side of your monitor

units: one for the geeks. Try "man units" and look at "units.dat". Haven't you always wanted to convert "6 cups flour_sifted" to grams, or find the diameter of Neptune in Assyrian cubits?
