zazzybob how did you get the system stat thing up (left hand side of the screen) in SUSE? I've never really had time to configure my SUSE machine lately Smilie

I want to do a fresh install and configure it correctly now. But that thing is it a custom skin feature or something within the O/S?

you mean RIGHT hand side of the screen? thats gkrellm or something like that.

when i used windowmaker i liked having a gkrellm thing there, it was cool.

Yep, it is gkrellm.

It normally sits in the background, and I bring it to the fore when I want to check stats or receive a mail.

SUSE doesn't have it by default (I think), anyways, install the latest version from http://web.wt.net/~billw/gkrellm/gkrellm.html

suse does include a gkrellm package i believe.

Yep, you're right, it does (at least 8.2 does) come with gkrellm, although I found this advisory here

<some patch file here>
Security Update!
Security update: This update package fixes a buffer overflow in gkrellmd, the server
component of the gkrellm package. The vulnerability may allow an attacker
to run arbitrary commands as the user running the daemon.

So it might be worth getting the latest version anyways (this is all assuming the OP is running SUSE Smilie )

Cheers
