Not because I have a stripped down laptop (I have a Dell 5150 with a 3.2 Ghz P4 and 2 Gb RAM), but because I like it and I do notice better performance even on this hardware. I used to use GKrellM (back under RH 8.0), but found it problematic as it was always covered by apps when I wanted to see some metric. I am also a fan of Forbidden Planet... :-) I moved to using gnome-panel applets and now with Xfce, use various Xfce panel goodies, which provide the same info and are always visible without using more screen real estate. Enjoy. Marc
