Not really... It wasn't until recently. I got my first Linux distro [RedHat] somewhere around 96-97. I didn't hear about conky until the mid or late 2010's. I was mostly shell scripting various things in KSH for the IBM RS6000s that we had. In CSH for the SUN boxes. That said, I didn't pay much attention to the GUI itself. I was too busy being a nerd. LOL From what I've seen of conky so far, it is pretty cool. I'll have to check it out in more detail one of these days.Isn't it obvious what conky is?
