    I have been using DSL (Damn Small Linux) (http://damnsmalllinux.org/) for a few days now, is it possible to get Ubuntu to display System stats/uptime/data flow in the same way that DSL does?

    I really love that feature of DSL. I have attached a desktop image with the feature I am talking about, in the upper right corner.

    Here's the latest how-to for setting up Conky in Ubuntu.

    I used the conky_colors package from gnome-look which looks really nice:

    This is my Conky here:

    I've also attached my .conkyrc if it helps. I don't know if you'll be able to get the weather thing going though, the scripts are in a .deb file.
