[NTLUG:Discuss] What is this?

Greg,

I checked out KDE System Guard (since I'm running KDE)...pretty nifty.  I
haven't played around near enough with all the tools available in KDE and
Gnome.  I really need a separate computer loaded with Linux instead of the
dual boot thing I have now.  My wife keeps wanting to get on the computer
and I don't have as much time to play with it as I'd like.  But thanks for
the info.

Wayne,

If your running X there are some GUI toys that you could look at.  Gnome
(System monitor) and KDE (System guard) tools will let you show
processes in a tree under their parents.  With a little playing around
these tools can give you some nice feedback on your systems stability
and performance.  For real admin work I use the command line.  But some
of the GUI tools can help you see the picture in a different light.

locate and find serve different purposes.  You can get some of the same
answers from both but they don't do the same job.  If your looking for
an executable file which is faster than locate, find will give you the
chance to refine your search, and locate will keep you from running
across networked directories.  The wonderful thing about *nix OSes are
all the tools, you just need to pick the right one for the job at hand.
