From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I just wish there was a .deb package.
Still gonna get around to making a playbook for installing it someday. btop (and it’s predecessors) are awesome.

I'm using lcdproc on a 20x4 characters display, it's enough to see cpu, load, mem, Network, etc

bottom users rise up. RIIR!
This looks great! Thanks for the recommendation.
I like Netdata because it's web based, has a large number of metrics, you can pan/zoom the graphs, and it doesn't use much CPU power. Console UIs are nice but they're more limiting than something web-based.

The nord theme on btop is blissful. It looks so good.
It's very attractive, but it also seems to have a minimum window size requirement that exceeds the "stack" in my "master and stack."
It's great to use if you need a dashboard to track issues, but for a quick look at running processes, I think I'll stick with htop.
Purely on aesthetics, I find bashtop nicer, but I couldn't get it on my server.
I often use glances for general monitoring.
