thanks for the gPS suggestion, that helped a lot. The monitor itself

yeah... gnome-system-monitor is strangely resource intensive for the
simple job it does.
I actually quit using it because in the same ammount of time it took for
the thing to open and let me do something useful (like killing a
process) I could open a terminal, read the appropriate man page, then
issue the command :)
maybe a little exaggerated, but that program is seriously a hog.

Not much exagerated! I'm really enjoying Ubuntu. I've been a developer
for almost 30 years, the last 10 or so have all been in the MSoft
world. Before that it was OS/2, Mac, Amiga, and SCO Unix. Since I've
been unable to get work the last year, I've decided to go back to
school and get an MSW (Masters in Social Work, not MicroSoft Weenie).
Which has freed me up to start coding in 'C', PHP, MySql.... doing the
more fun stuff! Plus, an added plus is the OpenSource people who are
so willing to share and help! Thanks All that have resoonded!<br>
