I lol'd when I saw this however:

andrew@ziggy ~ $ gnome-system-monitor
glibtop: open (/home/benoit/Desktop/libgtop/cpuinfo8.txt): No such file or directory

/home/benoit isn't me :-)

Hopefully distributions like Fedora will stop putting all that stuff in sub-menus like 'personal, look and feel, internet and network' etc. because the stock Gnome in 2.20 will have eliminated a lot of those dialogs by combining them into the same ones. Like for example under appearance you can now select background, mouse pointers, plus theme, etc. Under Ubuntu they even put the Desktop Effects as a tab there. Pretty sweet cleanup progress.

I don't recall it using that much when I copied it with ssh. Then again I never use anything but ssh since I don't really copy things over to other Windows computers.

SMB protocol. using nautilus to copy from linux to windows on a drive that is connected using nautilus (not directly mounted using smb) it will use 30-40% for gnome-vfs-daemon and 30-40% for nautilus. this typically comes into play when copying large files/groups of files, 1+ gig total Mon, 03 Sep 2007 19:24:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Tweek) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?269177 http://osnews.com/thread?269177 celeron 3.0 processor
using gnome 2.18
gnome-vfs-daemon uses about 20 to 25%
nautilus uses about 8 to 12% Thu, 06 Sep 2007 02:14:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (meandean) Comments
