I'm still getting my feet wet with Linux, and looking for equivalents to familiar tools in the Windows environment. Does there exist an approximate equivalent to the Windows TaskManager (taskman.exe)?
I'm looking for a way to assure myself that there really IS something happening when there's no apparent activity in the UI. (And if something is indeed happening, just what that something is.)
I can't imagine that Linux doesn't have an equivalent, but I haven't found it on my own yet.
Linux has much better tools for finding out what processes are running. Which graphical ones you have installed depend on choices you made at installation time (such as which window manager), but you're certain to have the two most frequently used. Open a console window and type in "ps ax | less"; then try typing in "top". -- Bob Kline http://www.rksystems.com mailto:bkline@rksystems.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
