+With a single process, GKrellM manages multiple stacked monitors and supports
+applying themes to match the monitors appearance to your window manager,
+Gtk, or any other theme.
+
+ * SMP CPU, Disk, Proc, and active net interface monitors with LEDs.
+ * Internet monitor that displays current and charts historical port hits
+
+ * Memory and swap space usage meters and a system uptime monitor.
+ * File system meters show capacity/free space and can mount/umount.
+ * A mailbox monitor which can launch mail reader, remote mail fetch.
+ * Clock/calendar and hostname display.
+ * APM laptop battery monitor.
+ * CPU/motherboard temperature display if lm_sensors modules installed.
+
+ * Multiple monitors managed by a single process to reduce system load.
+ * A timer button that can execute PPP or ISDN logon/logoff scripts.
+ * Charts are autoscaling with configurable grid line resolution, or
+ can be set to a fixed scale mode.
+ * Separate colors for "in" and "out" data. The in color is used for
+ CPU user time, disk read, forks, and net receive data. The out color
+ is used for CPU sys time, disk write, load, and net transmit data.
+ * Commands can be configured to run when monitor labels are clicked.
+ * GKrellM is plugin capable so special interest monitors can be created.
+ * A different theme can be created with the GIMP.
+
+The gkrellm2-server package installs the monitoring part of GKrellM, which
+can be made to run as a daemon to be polled over the network by the GKrellM
+client as found in the gkrellm2 package.
