The one with the system information on the right? That is call Conky (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865&highlight=conky). There is plenty of threads and information out there, but that is a good start for information. It allows many configurations, and it has to be downloaded.

Extract the archive and double-click on the ConkyWizard file to run.

In the Ubuntu Software Center you will find “Conky all” You can install it from there.
