Indeed. There are a few applets that will show memory/cpu/swap use
And "ksysguard" happens to be one that is handy, expecially for kde systems, and easy to get to: Default key: <ctrl><esc>
i like to have around the "system load viewer," an applet that's available with standard KDE4 intalls. it shows system use in form of a simple colored bar chart. you can't see exactly what uses how much, but when something runs off with CPU or memory, it looks different. then you can click on it, which has the same effect as <ctrl><esc>, i.e., ksysguard opens. for more detailed tracking of resources it's probably better to also consult top or htop (terminal). on occasion i find that processes that aren't shown in ksysguard do show up in (h)top. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
