What is Torsmo?

Torsmo is a system monitor that sits in the corner of your desktop. It's very simple, customizable and it renders only text on the desktop (and percentagebars if you want it to ;) and the only lib it uses is Xlib.
Torsmo can show various information about your system and it's peripherals, including:

• Kernel version
• Uptime
• System time
• Network interface information
• Memory and swap usage
• Hostname
• Machine, i686 for example
• System name, Linux for example
• Temperatures from i2c-sensors
• Temperature from ACPI
• Battery capacity from ACPI/APM
• Number of processes running or sleeping
• Local mails (unread and all)
• Filesystem stats

Please read the README for more details.

WTF does 'tyopoyta orvelo' mean?

Heh, Työpöytä means desktop in Finnish, and Örvelö is somekind of a strange animal :P
The name of the program was desktop örvelö before, so the name has just changed a little from the original name that Hipo invented ;)
