Hi

Gnome System Monitor is added by right clicking the taskbar, "add to
panel", "System Monitor" (On my pc it's somewhere 3/4 th down), "Add".
There are a lot of cool tools in system monitor. I have Processor use,
memory use, Network use, Swap space and total system load.
In add to panel there are a lot of different cool programs
