myDSL Extensions (deprecated) :: That little monitor on the side
That little monitor on the side... I've seen it on other Linux desktops also... How can I find/install it in other versions of Linux?
I use Mandrake 10.1 as my main machine. But, I'm still fairly new to Linux in general. I found DSL by accident, and am MIGHTY impressed with it!!
In fluxbox/windowmaker, it's a slit or dock containing multiple programs specifically designed for this purpose. Check out http://dockapps.org for piles of them.
If you have no dock or slit you might try gkrellm, which has a series of monitors within a single application, expandable through plugins.
I do have a "dock" if that's what you would call one of those KDE menus. Considering that KDE is the only GUI I'm familiar with, I may be missing some of the terminology.
Anyway... I checked out the site, and it certainly has everything I could ever want. The only problem is, I have no clue how to install the apps.
Man... I've been using Linux for about 3 years now, off and on, trying to learn how to us it... I'm still pretty green.
