information center on desktop

[metalx]

In advance i'm sorry for the picuter for those using slow connections, also for my grammer (never been friendly with grammer [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_dry.png[/img] ).

Alright so this probably doesn't belong here but I couldn't think of a better place to put it so here it is. I'm currently in school for networking and I want to specialize in security, by happenstance I found Backtrack. Now my question is on there mainpage they have a screenshot of the desktop running some type of information center but when I start the distro it doesn't come up. Whats the name of this program? I can figure out how to use once I know what it is.

 



 

As usual thanks for the help.

Hi,

 

I would go with: gkrellm (http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bill...rellm.html) if you open a terminal as root

and type gkrellm and hit enter ot type gkrel and hit tab a few times and it will show you what programs start with gkrel.

I'm impressed with the quite reply.

I'll post again once I get it working.

Thank you

I believe that the screenshot is of something called conky but it might be something called gDesklets.

 

You can see my tutorial on setting it up (for a different distribution though).

 

And some more screenshots of it in action are available on the forums

 

Nice :)

Thanks for the info ;)! I just installed it and tried it out work, works right off the repos, but it's going to need alot of configuring (thats part of the fun).

Also I looked at some of the screenshots you included with your comments and I really like that first wallpaper, can I ask where you go it?

No problem (that's why I'm here!). Stuff always needs configuring with Linux :)

 

If you mean the screenshot of the girl, that's a character in a game (something like shaya: dark and light) here is a couple of shots check out my

gallery on my site! I have some more shots .. I can upload them if you want :)

To get the gui up in Backtrack to show CPU ram usage et etc, all you have to do is open the terminal, type leetmode then hit enter.
