Updated: 10 June 2015 I-Nex is a hardware information gatherer with graphical interface. It displays detailed hardware information and some software information about the Operating System, Kernel and packages. I-Nex is quick gathering the information. The interface is well organized and easy to understand. I-Nex also provides the possibility of generating a detailed report and create a screenshot directly from the application. I-Nex running on Xubuntu Install I-Nex requires a up-to-date Gambas 3 (used for the graphical interface), so we need to add the Gambas 3 PPA. To install them both, open a terminal window and run: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gambas-team/gambas3 -y && sudo add-apt-repository ppa:i-nex-development-team/stable -y && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install i-nex -y Usage I-Nex can be accessed via Applications Menu > System > I-Nex or typing the following command: i-nex .

Conky is a free, light-weight system monitor for X, that displays any information on your desktop. Conky running in Xubuntu 12.04 and using conky2 by ~dinozaur1982 as configuration file. Install Open a terminal window and run: sudo apt-get install conky -y Usage Conky can be accessed by typing the following command: conky . You can use the -c | --config= FILE option to load a configuration file instead of $HOME/.conkyrc . My suggestion is to have a folder with some Conky configuration files and add Conky to session startup [1] typing conky -c path_to_conky_rc as the command. Please don't forget to adjust the configuration file path. Where to get examples Great examples can be found at deviantArt.com . There's also examples at gnome-look.org under the "Other Gnome Stuff" section, but it's easier to just search for "conky". After downloading a Conky configuration file you may have to edit it to make everything work....
