I always put the monitor on my bottom panel -- the one in System Tools, with an icon of a zig-zag curve, yellow on green, with four buttons to the right of it. Sometimes a right click on that icon will give me a choice of preferences; and if check several, the icon will turn into a display of the loads on those. I find that helpful. Sometimes, however, there is no preferences choice, but only a properties choice; nothing I can do to that one, including editing the preferences after opening it, will make the icon become the display. This has been true of the last several Fedora releases; any given machine will have one or the other, but never both nor a choice between -- even though I run the same Fedora release on all machines. The one that shows Properties says its command is gnome-system- monitor; the other gives me no way I can see to find out the command it uses. Why are there two, and how can I choose?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know little (precious little!) of what I am talking about.
