Conky Config eee Netbook

Just remembered how fun it was to tinker with conky scripts, so here is the config I’ve made for my eee Netbook.

I’ve tried to arrange it so it would display maximum information on such a small screen, as I mostly use wireless lan I didn’t bother with cable interfaces, but you may change it to your likings.

Desktop screeshot

To run it on your system you need the conky package:

apt-get install conky || yum install conky

And drop the following config on ~/.conkyrc:
