+information visually and in real time, using a curses-based terminal interface.
+This makes Nyx well-suited for remote shell connections and servers without a
+graphical display.  It's like @command{top} for Tor, providing detailed
+statistics and status reports on:
+
address@hidden
address@hidden connections (with IP address, hostname, fingerprint, and 
consensus data),
address@hidden bandwidth, processor, and memory usage,
address@hidden the relay's current configuration,
address@hidden logged events,
address@hidden and much more.
