the cool side window
 

i've been looking at destop screen shots, and i was wondering how to get the graphical cpu,eth0, and mem graphical read-out. is it available through kde? or do i need a different windows manager

Like in most of the screenshots on my website? http://david.us-lot.org/ ?

That's gkrellm, you can find it on http://freshmeat.net

thanks very much!

It's really cool, because you can program the label buttons to bring up gps, your favorite file manager, etc. and there's a plugin for xmms.

Extremely (sp) handy in a minimal window manager ;)
