It is the spiritual successor to other open handheld consoles such as the GP32 and GP2X. The device is open, meaning you can use it however you like and there are no restrictions or fees placed on developers, so anyone can write and release software for it. It runs a custom distribution of Linux based on [http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/ Ångström] and is currently the most powerful handheld gaming console available.

			'''[http://conky.sourceforge.net/ Conky]''' is a system monitor for the X Window System. It is available for the Pandora from the Angstrom repository.

	Conky has gained a strong following among many Linux and BSD enthusiasts, and was hailed as "''one of the best maintained, and definitely one of the most useful, programs in the world of open source''" according to Jan Rähm in a [http://www.linux-magazine.com/w3/issue/100/086-087_conky.pdf March 2009 article] in Linux Magazine.
