Hi all, For the past 13 years or so, ksysguard has been in KDE under various names. Right from the beginning it was designed to monitor remote systems as well as local ones.
To monitor remote systems, it can connect to a remote machine via rsh, ssh, etc, and communicate via a very simple plain text protocol. However over the years this design has slowly strangled future development, and has scared off several contributors. People have a great idea and want to add it, then as I start to explain how they need to implement it, their eyes get wider as they start to back away slowly. So unless anyone can talk me out of it now, I am going to remove the ability to monitor remote hosts entirely, and to use one of the many excellent cross-platform debugged libraries that already exist to gather system information.
