Puppy should have something like Serious Samurize, system monitoring and desktop enhancement engine.
I know we've got Conky but ...

sounds interesting, does it take much system resources?

Apparently not. Possibly as little as conky. Haven't tried it. Try it and let us know.

:D Hello,
From the Samurize Forum:
Samurize is written in Delphi and relies on the Windows API for many things (performance monitors, etc). So it would most likely require heavy modification to get everything working in Linux.
I've tried Samurize on Ubuntu using WINE. There's functions that Samurize uses that don't exist in WINE as of yet, so while the Client and Instance Manager *do* run, you don't see anything from the Client.
Serious Samurize can not made be open since AdamC does not hold the full rights to the Basecode.
He mentioned it to me before, that he had to ask the original Coders who lost interest in the Project, but he can't contact them.
So it appears, No..
Conky or GKR
Conky can do many as yet unexplored things, look at pwidgets..
