You are right. I have dropped my interest on apmd since I discovered gkrellm-pmud. And I have been advertising it on (my) PB page too, as you probably know. > Its almost as good as Batmon, but smaller. I find gkrellm way better than Batmon. Why do you say ``almost''? Why is Batmon still better than gkrellm-pmud? (it results to me that the underlying code was written by Paul...) It would be a good thing, however, to have a unified monitoring system despite the hardware. I mean Intels are based on apm, PPCs are based on pmu, but do applications need to know it? Sergio
