Rashkee,
For limiting bandwith I removed your comment.
First, yes, I also use gkrellm even since my SuSe days (I think that was 
in the last century!) it is an indispensable tool for monitoring your 
system. Tomorrow, I will restart the system and before I end the current 
run, kill firefox. The problem is I have a lot of sites open which I 
visit regularly. I wonder of seamonkey (which I think is now an 
opensource project and not a Mozilla product) would be a better choice.
Is there a tool to see which process occupies physical memory 
permanently? ps only gives the memory necessary for all processes 
running or sleeping.
Lucio: yes, I'm always running with processor on demand although I 
sometimes run it on the highest frequency (2.6 Ghz) which actually 
improves performance but heats the processor to > 45 °C where it 
normally becomes stays in the range 21 - 30 °C (which I think is rather 
low!). My other processors (I have a.o. an old AMD 64bit 3000) run much 
warmer (50 -80 °C).
Well it's past midnight . I'll hear you tomorrow.
Thanks until now,
Joep
