Hardware Monitor applet 0.5
Friends,
A man walks along the road. I stop by him. He says, "The road is long
and the stones are plentiful". He also says, "The flames warm my
heart. But the curves are jumpy. The bars are too boring. And the
texts ridden with bugs." He raises his eyebrow. I nod. He says, "Go
fix these things and tell gnome-announce about it."
What's new:
- made the curve and the bar viewer update themselves continuously
instead of in small jumps
- broke the bars into little boxes which look much neater
- fixed some of the issues with the text viewer
- fixed crash with the temperature monitor
- renice to 10 to prevent stealing CPU time when it is needed
- some other bug fixes
Features:
- monitor CPU/memory/swap/disk usage, load average, Ethernet/modem
throughput, CPU temperature
- multiple views that all support multiple monitors:
o a curve view with smooth lines
o a bar view with wacky horizontal bars
o a text view for those who want extreme precision
o a flame view to impress your friends
- a modular design for future enhancements
- well-behaved GNOME panel applet (no floating gkrellm-windows)
- a Danish translation
Version 0.5 can be downloaded from here:
http://www.cs.auc.dk/~olau/hardware-monitor/
Screenshots are also available from the above page. The applet
requires Gnome 2.2 and the gtkmm and gnomemm-all libraries from
www.gtkmm.org.
Note that you need to install libsensors and setup lm-sensors with
your kernel if you want to monitor the CPU temperature. Also, the
lm-sensors support is still a little inflexible and will sometimes
show the system board temperature instead of the CPU temperature.

Red Carpet 2.0 preview 2
Hi,
We're happy to announce a second previous release of Red Carpet 2.0.
WHAT IS RED CARPET?
===================
Red Carpet is a graphical software management tool for RPM and dpkg
systems. Red Carpet allows you to update and remove existing software
and install new software on your machine quickly and easily with
complete dependency resolution. It also allows you to get information
on packages and dependencies and view a history of package
transactions. To make the large amounts of available software easy to
manage, Red Carpet organizes software conceptually into "channels".
NEW SINCE 2.0 PREVIEW 1
=======================
Since the first preview release we've fixed several bugs that have been
found and based on your feedback have addressed a number of user
interface issues, including a tabbed UI and reworked strings.
This version also features the following translations:
sv: Christian Rose
pt: Duarte Loreto
da: Kenneth Christiansen
nl: Vincent van Adrighem
NEW SINCE 1.4
=============
Red Carpet 2.0 features an all-new, native GTK+ 2.0-based user
interface. Its new layout allows more powerful access to software
management tasks like installing software from multiple channels and
installing and removing software simultaneously. It aims to conform to
the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines.
HOW TO GET IT
=============
Binary packages for Red Hat Linux 7.3, 8.0 and 9 are available from the
"RCD snapshots" channel in Red Carpet, or on our FTP site at
ftp://ftp.ximian.com/pub/rcd-snaps. For the second preview, the version
number is 1.99.2. You will also need the "rcd" package.
This isn't the final supported distribution list, and more distributions
will be added as we approach a final 2.0 release.
EXTENDED BUG HUNT CONTEST
=========================
We've extended the Red Carpet 2.0 bug hunt contest until May 2. Prives
include Bose QuietComfort Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones, gift
certificates to Amazon.com, and Ximian t-shirts. See the link below for
more details.
DEVELOPERS
==========
Red Carpet (and associated components) are licensed under the GNU GPL
and can be found in GNOME CVS in the "red-carpet" module. Associated
components libredcarpet (module "libredcarpet"), the Red Carpet Daemon
("rcd") and the rc command-line tool ("rc") are also in GNOME CVS.
We welcome developer contributions and recommend you subscribe to the
rc-devel mailing list. See http://lists.ximian.com.
