Yeah on the right is Conky, you can either edit the config file manually or you can use Conky Manager

I personally use Conky Manager as i cant be bothered messing about with configs

The specs are the interesting part of fishie's screenshot. Check what hardware he's running Linux on.

 

hell yes, i did not look at that much before. linux is really highly flexible. can be run on the latest high-end specs, mid range pcs and even for the older and lower specs out there is a di running nice on it. :)
