system status in background

[samfrog88]

in many linux distro's, people have their system status (cpu, ram, hard drive I/O, etc) Also, on my friend's powermac g5 he had text in the background that showed what song he was listening to. how does one do that? can it be done with widgets? shell scripts?

Well a lot of people use Menumeters. I also have the SysStat widget. There are a ton of applications at Dashboard Widgets, MacUpdate and Versiontracker.
