Conky (Again)

So I’ve been asked by a couple of people to write a bit more about Conky such as, my config file for it. And how I installed it, how long it takes to configure, a few options that other people might like. So I’ll be posting it in parts in the coming days/weeks (it depends when I get a chance, I’m a bit busy at Uni right now :( )

More to come soon!!

Conky

I got a little bored yesterday, so I downloaded Conky, it’s a kind of system monitor for Linux machines, though if you check it may run on Windows/Mac as well.

Anyway, I decided I wouldn’t download it from the repositories ready made and ready to run. I downloaded the source code and compiled it myself, so I had the very latest version :) I’m glad I did, it taught me some new things :)

I have to say that I REALLY like it. Especially because of the capabilities it has…and how much you can customise it…I spent around 2-4 hours customising mine!

Here’s a screen shot of the finished product :) (Click the thumbnail for the full size image)
