Hi Folk,

How to search/ask for something, you don't even know its name?

I'm sorry to bother you, but I am looking for a particular "thing"

I call it "SysMon" for System Monitor. It is the fency littel "thing"
which is present on the desktop an shows you all the hardware-particulars, such as RAM, Partions, Uptime, CPU-usage,
Network-aktivity etc.

How is this "thing" called?
Where can I find it?
How do I install or integrate it into another distro (don't be angry... I am on (K)Ubuntu...but I promise I will also run DSL, btw, I have 2.1 on a cd running for my little daughter 2,5 y )

Thank you for your help and your great understanding

p.s. I know I could have running DSL as primery distro...
but I say frist come first served. But I follow the development
with great insterest.
