 --------------------
 
 
-Works only on Linux and FreeBSD. The panel plugin is based on the sample-plugin
-from Benedikt Meurer and on the xfce4-systemload-plugin from Riccardo
-Persichetti.  The layout is the same as the systemload-plugin. This made
-programming very easy and looks good, too.
+This plugin should work on all operating systems supported by Xfce4. On Linux and FreeBSD the code
+for reading the netload is integrated. The code for this is based on IceWM from Marko Macek
+(http://www.icewm.org). Other operating systems such as NetBSD, OpenBSD or Sun Solaris are supported
+by libgtop2 from the GNOME desktop (but GNOME is not required by this library). This is because I
+have no testing machines for all this operating systems and some systems require a Client/Server
+model, i.e. there are root permissions needed to get out system load and the Xfce4 panel is not
+running suid root. The library made this easier to implement (it's implemented by the library and I
+didn't have to do that).
 
-The code for getting the netload is based on IceWM from Marko Macek. If you
-have code for other operating systems than Linux or FreeBSD please mail to me
-and if you can mail also Marko Macek (see at http://www.icewm.org) so that he
-can include it in IceWM, too, if he wants.

-I'm not planning making much improvements in the future so if you want to take
-over developement, just drop me a note. I just programmed it because I needed
-it but I plan to maintain it so that it's running with the most current stable
-release of Xfce.
