Hi Mark,

the difference is that conky doesn’t use any toolkit (like GTK). It paints the info directly in the xwindow. That way it uses much less resources. gkrellm was kind of replaced by torsmo which was then forked by conky. Right now conky is the de facto standard for system monitoring and nothing new at all. It has been around for a couple of years.

Isn’t this just a re-invention of the wheel? gkrellm has had this stuff for quite awhile. What is different here?

good stuff. I personally think even the more complicated programs (linux) etc could be explained discussed
