Charlie: Top is a feature on the linux system which is used to monitor prthe status of active and inactive processes on your linux system. As someone who has been using linux for under a year I'm not usually quick to recommend man pages because I sometimes find that they are not well-written or easy to understand in my opinion, however; this one is surprisingly clear and well written so I'd have to recommend you check it out.
