ITP: MGM -- a gaudy system load meter

[David Z Maze <dmaze@MIT.EDU>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Monty and the Xiphophorus Company, the same people who brought you the 
Ogg Vorbis audio codec, present MGM, the Moaning Goat Monitor.  MGM is 
a system load monitor something along the lines of procmeter3, but
prettier (and with a much higher resource usage).  It's written in
Perl/Tk, uses a nice antialiased Helvetica font, configurable with X
resources, and has a larger memory footprint than Emacs.

MGM is in the public domain.  It has a Web page at
http://www.xiph.org/mgm/.  Quoting from there:

    "MGM, the Moaning Goat Meter, is the ultimate sixty-ton cast iron
    lawn ornament for the desktops of today's hacker set: A gorgeous,
    highly configurable load and status meter written entirely in
    Perl. Serious pink-flamingo territory. For evil geniuses only."
