[GTALUG] System Monitor / sysmon

Thanks for the research!

I want a stupid GUI program.  sar is a command-line tool, I think.

sar's manual makes it look very complex to use.  Not really inviting.

If I just act dumb and type "sar", I find it isn't installed (but the
shell offers to install it).  When I say yes, it is installed, but the
shell forgets that I want to run it.  When I again ask to run it, I get:

	Cannot open /var/log/sa/sa20: No such file or directory
	Please check if data collecting is enabled

All-in-all, not as brainless as running sysmon.
