Since I do lots of off the wall stuff on this machine, I keep a root copy of htop running in the first shell tab of 10 on workspace 0 as the first thing I start after a reboot. You will probably have to install it as its not part of the normal install. That and mc are (IMO) your 2 best secret weapons ever. > ____________________________________________________ > tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Web mail archive available at > https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@trinity >desktop.org Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
