Band Width display Icon - Mint Linux 17

Post by Muzman65 »

Good Day,

I am using wi-fi with the above distro , as a past windows user I am really impressed with Mint Linux.
One question is there a simple applet that a newbie like myself could install so you can either hover over
or click on that automatically starts on system boot to show Data used , Sent , Received ... ?
Once again Many Thanks in advance,

- install that.
view it's output in your browser.
