En caso es que en esta Laptop he tenido que balancearme hacia las distros de pocos recursos, después de unas y otras es cuando he descubierto Openbox, he quedado fascinado.
Y he aterrizado en CrunchBang Waldorf, o lo que es lo mismo, Debian Wheezy + Openbox y alguna personalización extra de los chicos de #!
Con el paso del tiempo y empujado de algún modo por las circunstancias, he ido abandonando lo pesado y he caminado hacia el minimalismo, con el Conky me pasa igual.
Gracias a los compañeros de G+ me he armado un bonito conky, el cual dejo como aporte y referencia, es el que estoy usando en mi CrunchBang.
Como podéis ver, un conky minimalista, sin recargar, y acorde a Openbox.

Aquel que quiera servirse, le ofrezco mi conkyrc
