As far as I know. The only thing I think is that I need to track down
what looks like a bug in the "uptime" of a process that we report. I have
seen now bogus uptimes for processes on 2 of my machines.

I vote for browser based, as it would be easier to have it running on all
the platforms we support - Solaris, Linux and FreeBSD.
I would also add for release 4.0 that we add MacOS 10.2 support, and we
can make a fink package for it. I found an example of code that uses kvm
stuff for Mac OS X (top from www.opendarwin.org) so I should be able to
get this working by release 4.0.
