Hi,

I'm using FC13 and would like to find a set of graphical utilities
that can be used to monitor the various parts of the system, such as
disk and network activity, memory utilization, status of virtual
machines, etc. Is there one such application that can do this, and run
in a small window on the desktop?

Thanks,
Alex

There's a million of them I think, but none of them do
everything you want :-). I use gkrellm (available in the
fedora repos).

No question, you want Conky. Conky can do absolutely anything you want it to do, and it draws right onto the desktop. It has tons of easily-used outputs, and it can even be taught to show the output of any given shell command. It's more powerful than any other monitor I've ever used. Check online for some good .conkyrc files, but don't forget that part of the fun is making it exactly what you need and want!

Hi Alex,

Not sure about VMs, but gkrellm can show a lot of system info. HTH.
