Great tutorial and resource, thank you a bunch.
I played around with one of the samples you listed and came up with a simple .conkyrc
Code:
# UBUNTU-CONKY
#
# Create own window instead of using desktop (required in nautilus)
own_window yes
own_window_type override
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
# Use double buffering (reduces flicker, may not work for everyone)
double_buffer yes
# fiddle with window
use_spacer right
use_xft yes
# Update interval in seconds
update_interval 3.0
# Minimum size of text area
minimum_size 200 800
# Draw shades?
draw_shades no
# Text stuff
draw_outline no # amplifies text if yes
draw_borders no
font arial
uppercase no # set to yes if you want all text to be in uppercase
# Stippled borders?
stippled_borders 3
# border margins
border_margin 2
# border width
border_width 2
# Default colors and also border colors, grey90 == #e5e5e5
default_color eeeeee
own_window_colour brown
own_window_transparent yes
# Text alignment, other possible values are commented
#alignment top_left
alignment top_right
#alignment bottom_left
#alignment bottom_right
# Gap between borders of screen and text
gap_x 10
gap_y 10
# number of cpu samples to average
# set to 1 to disable averaging
cpu_avg_samples 2
text_buffer_size 1024
# stuff after ‘TEXT’ will be formatted on screen
TEXT

It uses eth0 inststead of wireless, and I ripped out the battery stuff, and fooled around with the style a bit.
Again, thank you very much!
