Being a computer nerd, I wonder if you would give more detail to that response. Thank You

I find the "top" function to be much more useful. For those new to Linux, just type "top" at a command prompt. This will present to you a pseudo-graphical representation of processes active on the machine that is updated how ever often you choose. Once in top, press the "h" key for the help menu, this allows you to choose such options as the refresh rate, sorting by memory usage, processor usage, etc. Works very handy. When you want to quit, just type "q".
