|

What I am looking for is a monitor to get the info from the bios and display it in KDE or Gnome app.
Something like what the motherboard manufactures ship for the windows clients.
Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? _________________ Beer |

There are lots of them; just depends on which you want: gnome or KDE. I use Gkrellm -- it monitors just about every load/temp/voltage/fanspeed I could need. Not only that, it has plugins to control my volume/xmms and watch the local weather. |

Besides gkrellm the only other one I know of is call ksysmon I believe. gkrellm is by far the defacto standard of system monitors. |

gkrellm
ksensors
gtop
xosview
top
bubblefishymon
gnome-system-monitor
These are all in portage; just do an 'emerge -S' for sensor, monitor, etc. Most window managers will have one that's specifically written for them; other monitors work cross-manager. WindowManager, KDE, BlackBox, and GNOME are all highly used WM's that have one written specifically for them. Heck, even Perl has a module that allows you to interface with your sensors.
I'm going to step out on a limb here and say what the moderators would say -- improve your search skills. I don't mind, because hardware monitors are something important to me as a system administrator; however, a simple search here or on google for "hardware monitor" or "linux hardware monitor" will give you all kinds of information and better than I can give you. Your monitor is your choice; I see most people using either WindowManager's or Gkrellm. |
