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.
