The Hot-babe system monitor

One of the peculiar things about linuxers is that we love managing our system and we like doing it so much that we come up with some of the most amazing, innovative and fun tools to ease the job. I am not talking about some cool widget here, its a virtual stripper, named "hot-babe". The harder your system's processor works the more she strips .

This is actually a part of medibuntu repositories where you can find stuff that is't included in official ubuntu repos because of licensing issues. Hot-babe is one of those many such applications. In order to install it, you will first have to include the medibuntu repositories and then either click this link or run the following command in a terminal to install it.

[shredder12]$ sudo apt-get install hot-babe

A piece of warning: If you find nudity offensive, then I would kindly suggest you to not install it.

Once installed, you can find it in Applications->Accessories->hot-babe. When run, it is usually in a lot more clothes than in the screenshot below, but for some reason as soon as its executed, Xorg starts consuming a lot of CPU. It used to work fine when I first used it in Interpid, Ubuntu 8.10, probably some bug/incompatibility issue.
