The XQuartz project is an open-source effort to develop a version of the X.Org X Window System that runs on OS X. Together with supporting libraries and applications, it forms the X11.app that Apple shipped with OS X versions 10.5 through 10.7.

Important Info for 10.5 Users
OS X Software Updates have included some of the work done by the XQuartz project, but for various reasons, Apple cannot ship the latest and greatest version offered by the XQuartz site. Since the XQuartz X11 package clobbers Apple's X11.app, their software update will clobber the XQuartz X11 package. Because of this, you may experience conflicts after doing a Software Update from Apple. Please re-install the latest XQuartz X11 release for Leopard after installing a system software update to OS X 10.5.x Leopard.
License Info
An XQuartz installation consists of many individual pieces of software which have various licenses. The X.Org software components’ licenses are discussed on theX.Org Foundation Licenses page.The quartz-wm window manager included with the XQuartz distribution uses the Apple Public Source License Version 2.

Conky is a free software desktop system monitor for the X Window System. It is available for Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD.[3] Conky is highly configurable[4][5][6] and is able to monitor many system variables including the status of the CPU, memory, swap space, disk storage, temperatures, processes, network interfaces, battery power, system messages, e-mail inboxes, Arch Linux updates, many popular music players (MPD, XMMS2, BMPx, Audacious, etc.), weather updates, breaking news, and much more.[7] Unlike system monitors that use high-level widget toolkits to render their information, Conky is drawn directly in an X window. This allows it to be configured such that it consumes relatively few system resources.[8]
Conky For Os X Download
Conky was hailed as 'one of the best maintained, and definitely one of the most useful, programs in the world of open source' in Linux Magazine.[9]
It comes pre-configured in the default installation of Pinguy OS and CrunchBang Linux.[10][11]
History[edit]
Conky is a fork of torsmo, a system monitor that is no longer maintained.[12] Torsmo, however, continues to be used in systems where applications that use minimal resources are preferred. Damn Small Linux, for example, runs torsmo in its desktop root window on the default installation of its Live CD.[13] Conky derives its name from a character in the Canadian television programme Trailer Park Boys.[14]
Common uses[edit]
While Conky is suited for use as a system monitor, it can also be used to gather and display many other sources of information and can be extended with the Lua programming language.
Conky has also been ported to devices such as the Nokia N900[15] and can be ported to practically any system with GCC and an X11 implementation.
Users have created and distributed many customized scripts, demonstrating Conky's modularity and versatility in function and appearance. A thread on the Ubuntu forums has grown to over 2,000 pages of users sharing their configurations.[16][17][18][19]
Usage example[edit]
A simple configuration for Conky which displays the time on a user's desktop is as follows:
Default configuration file location is $HOME/.conkyrc or ${sysconfdir}/conky/conky.conf. On most systems, 'sysconfdir' is /etc, and you can find the sample configuration file there (/etc/conky/conky.conf).[7]
