Re: conky -- can you test it please.

ok, so nobody knows why the original creator of this conky chose to display this network info.
well, i'll find it out evtl.

generally speaking, for me the most important aspect is not distro compatibility, but what do i even look at? what info do i really need to see constantly on my desktop? and does it get lost amongst other bits of info?

about weather:
TBG's weather conkys are unsurpassed. they've been around for ages, and there's lots of choice.
but they're all based on a rather convoluted bash sed/grep system.

my weather script works with a different logic. it
1) uses xmllint, and thus the same logic with which html pages are built
2) produces conky output, so the conkyrc itself becomes very short & lightweight.

However, they work reliably!

Interested me, you have a link?
