Re: task manager?

Hi All,

Does Linux have an equivalent (or better) utility like the M$ Task
Manager?
I want to be able to see memory usage, which programs are running, and
what kind of resources (ram, vm, cpu, etc) each process is using, and
what my CPU usage is. Be nice if is ran in X. (I know about TOP, but
it is on the cumbersome side for me.)

You haven't told us what graphical environment you are running. Gnome has
an System Monitor, but personally I use KDE, and I find the KDE System
Guard to be very pleasing.

You can customize it with additional XML sheets, which you compose in a
WYSIWYG manner using drag & drop from sensors in the left column. It also
has a process list tab, which - like /top/ - shows you the individual
processes, filtered by user if need be.

/ksysguard/ and its daemon /ksysguardd/ are part of the KDE core package.
